Inability to Edit Background Images in Editor

At a glance

Hi team my client isn’t able to edit the background image of any component which has a background image with the editor - or edit mode such Header 5, CTA 3 etc. is there any workaround for this? Would really appreciate any input. Cheers, Zac

I've had this before, it's because the background images are behind the overlay layer so aren't directly selectable. Try adding "pointer-events: none" to the image overlay layer and see if that sorts it 👍

specifically Sam means toggling this setting on the overlay element

An "old school" approach would be to create a component of that image and put that component on another page the client can access to do the same thing - maybe this solves other problems as well and can be a trick to use for other things like mega menu navbars etc.
