Pretty sure I am missing something obvious here, but how do I edit a step in a workout I created.  
See below. There are two steps where I forgot to enter the duration. How do I go back and add duration?

not entirely sure if I’m understanding you correctly, you want to enter the tminig for the part where you say

4x  
-1 110%  
-1m 70%

It looks like you’re in EDIT mode for the workout. are you able to put your cursor at the 1 110%? If you can, then you can edit by adding the “m” into the 1 110%

That’s it. I completely missed the fact that the steps become text that can be edited.  
Thanks!

I had the same question and thought the text was just a description for later on.  
This is a brilliant and easy way to create a workout if you know you can do it by text.  
Would be nice if there was some kind of hint/hoverover/label/wizard on 1st workout that could let you know that you can createand a workout like that

You can use the Add Step function that allows multiple options:

Then there’s two help sections:

> You can now build structured workouts with automatic duration and training load. The workout is edited as “plain text” and the steps, power etc. are extracted automatically. So you can cut past between workouts, emails whatever you like. Tx very much to @steve_neal for taking the time to show me how other workout builders work!

I noticed that and that helped me out as well. But like Duppie I wanted to make changes to a workout that was already created and was looking for a similar button to edit a step. [Workout builder](https://forum.intervals.icu/t/workout-builder/1163) explains everything I wanted to know at this point.  
My point in the previous reply is that as a new user it is not clear that you can type your workout. It looks just like a description you can enter some notes

Edit: I now see that the question mark is linked to that page. Maybe it just me
