How to edit text in illustrator template (Freepik or Event Element) ?

[engineer_0326]

Hi, it's embarrassing, but can anyone tell me how to edit texts in Illustrator templates? I have a Freepik and even an Elements subscription, and for the past two years, I have been trying to edit logo files, but whenever I edit them, it won't let me. Even if there are no locked files, sometimes they come in groups, and isolating them cannot help me edit them.  When i click on them, thet are like images, not text, and I'm facing this with every single project unless the project file is 100 % text-based; otherwise, I cant change anything; any help will be highly appreciated.

Can you post a screen shot that includes your Layers panel?

Go into Outline view.

Is the text black? If so: you can edit it.

If not, it's been outlined and you can't edit it.
