Here are four actions you can take once it's on your page:

Click and drag the body of the field to place it where you would like it on the page
Click and drag the corners of the field to resize it
Click the field and then the gear to edit its properties, such as who is taking the action on the field, the label of the text field, or setting a default value for the field
Click and drag around multiple fields to edit them all at once

It is important to note: If you have added an editor block to your template, you cannot place fields on it from the Add tab.
