Simple Edit has revolutionized the way building mechanics take place in Fortnite, especially making it easier and faster to create more complex structures with minimal hassle for players at any skill level. This simple editing feature streamlines editing and lets players modify builds using just one button click. By simplifying complex editing maneuvers, Simple Edit empowers players to focus on strategic gameplay and creative expression.

Simple Edit in Fortnite

Fortnite’s Simple Edit feature makes building much easier because, before, editing was a multi-step process: you had to do lots of steps to edit a structure. Now, with just one click on the button, you can easily change walls, floors, and roofs. That means it’s easier for beginners to build in this game. 

Simple Edit lets you modify your builds with one click. When you focus on a specific part of your build, the game is going to let you know exactly what it will look like when edited. Then, with one button press, your build is automatically adjusted to your desired look without the need to tediously select individual tiles one after another. The simple Edit feature in Fortnite is turned off by default. To activate it, go to the settings menu while in the lobby.
