the idea was that scribus should be usable as a power point ersatz.

it was a bad idea and i guess that nobody ever used scribus in that way.
(except for the person who did push for that feature and who was using it for showing 3D items in his demos of scribus. not sure if anybody ever used the feature in production).

"real" scribus users already requested multiple times the change to be reverted or, at least, to have the editable mode as an (at least optional) default.

currently, theoretically, all you can do is to activate the "edit in preview mode" button but:

- it does not seem to work
- you have to press it each time you activate the preview mode.

Thanks for answer
never thought to use scribus as power point, nope
but to preview the pages, yes

I couldn't find the "edit in preview mode" button, though
could you kindly indicate where it's hidden ?

Thanks for directing to matrix or support
but the only references are to describe same issue, not solution

small last minute changes are easily done in that mode, I confirm
the feature misses now

Cheers
