Direct answer: To turn on Simple Edit in Fortnite, go to the Settings, open the Game tab, find the Building section, enable Simple Edit, and optionally enable Tap to Simple Edit for faster edits. You can then use the dedicated quick-edit input on your platform (PC: G; PlayStation: Circle; Xbox: B) to perform edits with a single press. Details and steps

• Accessing the setting:
  • Main Menu > Settings > Game tab > Building section.
  • Turn on “Simple Edit.”
  • Optional: turn on “Tap to Simple Edit” for a faster, tap-based edit instead of holding a button.
• Using Simple Edit:
  • After enabling, the edit action is mapped to a single button press rather than painting individual tiles.
  • PC users typically use the G key; console players use the mapped circle (PS), or B (Xbox) for quick edits, depending on your control scheme.
• Tips:
  • There may be an adjustment period since the workflow changes from traditional editing; practice in a safe area or Creative mode to get accustomed.
  • If you don’t see the option, ensure your Fortnite app is updated to the latest version, as Simple Edit was introduced in Chapter 6 and may appear only after a newer update.
