Insert element into repeat grid

I'm just wondering how to insert more elements into repeat grid. For instance, I'm trying to add text to one of the instances so it would reflect in all of them, but can't even drag the text layer into the grid group.

    To edit the contents of a Repeat Grid cell, double-click on one of the elements in the Repeat Grid. If the Repeat Grid is nested in a something else, you will need to double-click again for each level of nesting. Or you can Cmd-click (Mac) or Ctrl_click (Windows).

    You'll see a light-blue 5px border around the Repeat Grid cell when you've entered the "Edit Context" for the cell. You can now edit contents of the cell and add new elements. Dragging an element from outside of the Repeat Grid is not yet supported, but you can copy/paste it in.

    Hit Escape key or click on canvas to exit Repeat Grid Edit Context.
