So first i was unable to find out option to import svg then i figure out that drag and drop just woks but things get wrong when i was unable to edit the text , first i thought it’s the file error but when i tried in different editors it was working fine like i was able to edit the text, but in penpot i tried so many times and still not able to figure out how to select the text like it shows the image icon instead of text in layers, i tried even tweaking the svg file and i gave up [2 hours] , just help me figuring out this , thank you!
