What exactly you want to edit?
You can go to Format tab on the top of the Ribbon for many editing options.
Please clarify the term 'edit points' - may be by an example.
Thanks!

I want to edit a freeform shape in Storyline. In Powerpoint when we want to edit a freeform shape, we get an option called as "edit points". This is in the format tab under the heading "edit shape".
However, in Storyline when I look at the edit options in Format tab for freeform shape, I do not find this option.
Here is a graphic explaining what I need. This graphic is from powerpoint. Hope this helps clarify the question.

I was looking for this option as well. Would be happy if Storyline had it...surprised if it doesn't.

I'd love to know how to do this too; can't find any way to edit points. In fact I can't even figure out how to delete a point while you're drawing. If I make a mistake I have to hit escape and I lose all of my work. Oh, I don't have a numpad, don't know if that matters like if the delete key on the numpad is how you delete the last point.
One helpful hint I did figure out though is when you draw free form do not end at a corner; this will leave you with a weird little nub if you use an outline. Instead start drawing in the middle of a line and end there so the weird nub isn't seen (it's covering a line that's already there. I also first built my shape out of primitives then used that as a template to draw my object.

I take it this never got a response? I'm not finding it either. Feature request, anyone?
Hi Michel,
This thread is a bit older - and you're right, that you'll want to submit a feature request.

Already done.
