Drawing a shape in new Adobe Express

[minimejdh]

There is no longer a separate shape too.  I simply want to draw a rectangle.  And in the Elements section this doesn't seem to be possible.  Am I missing something.  
I have text that I want to put a rectangle behind and then decrease opacity to allow text to be read and some of the background to show threw.

Hi, 

Is this what you are looking for? With the text selected, look for the Shape button in the text panel:

Once you click the Shape button, you can select the shape style, color, opactiy etc.

Hope this helps

Thanks! Did not see that.  That will do in some cases.  I also found in elements if you scroll menu at the top there is a shape selection. Just in a different place then in the new version.!
