[Mock-up Text in Affinity Photo... Mesh Warp Tool...]

hey guys I was wondering if you could help me. I'm very new to the program I just bought it today and I cannot find the text tool. I've searched in the toolbar, customize settings for the toolbar and the main panel but it is unavailable. Windows laptop is my OS. Thank you so much for any help you can give me as I've tried YouTube with no luck as well.

[Text insert tool]

Hello,

I am using Affinity photo on windows 10.  I have searched the side toolbar, customized toolbar, and studio settings and the "A" text tool is not locatable or visible in any of these places.  I have searched youtube with no success.  Can anyone please help a new user on finding this as it's needed for my first project.
