Edit the Labels

The adoption group wants to perfect their survey for future use. To help them understand the results, you can add labels to the paths to indicate which items were the most related to their latent variables.

You can shade those labels by strength to add more data visualization to the model picture. You should see that the goodstory manifest variables are much stronger than the inperson variables.
