I have checked document however I don't know how to edit org chart information without replace data from either google drive or uploaded file. I also checked the community but didn’t find my answer. Hence I would like to ask whether or not I can create new employee and edit right in lucid chart without uploading files or linking from other places e.g Google Drive?

How to edit data of org chart in Lucidchart
Best answer by Maison W
Hi Long thanks for posting! Yes you can create an Org Chart without importing data. You can either start from scratch and drag org chart shapes onto the canvas or you can use one of our org chart templates. Once you have your shapes on the canvas if you double click them it will pull up an org chart tool bar on the left. You can edit the employee information on that toolbar or within the shapes themselves. You can also hover over the shape and red pluses should appear that you can click to create new employees. If you take a look at this Help Center article it goes over more details on how you can edit org charts. Hope this helps!

Hi
You can edit the employee information on that toolbar or within the shapes themselves.
Does this also work when importing the data from Google Sheets? When I double-click into a field, nothing happens. Also, the three points on the right of each field only give the option “Copy”.
It is possible to edit data by clicking into the shape when it is shown on the graph but if fields are not shown but still relevant for conditional formatting, a way to edit the data would be very helpful!
Many thanks!

Hi
With a one time data import, the workout you mentioned above is to edit the information in the shape and these changes will then be reflected in the data tab of the Contextual Panel.
