Gradient Editing

[hubs]

This should be simple but I can't figure it out. After I make some edits using the gradient tool I move on. a little later in the editing process, I decided I want to come back to the grdient and change the direction of the gradient or move a node, however, I'm unable to make the gradient tools stuff show up again. What am I doing wrong?

Gradients made on a Pixel layer are destructive, and cannot be edited later. Gradients made to a Vector object are non-destructive, and can edited later. Try drawing a Rectangle with no stroke and no fill, and then put a Gradient into it; you can adjust the gradient at any time.
