Edit Number of Side in Sketched Polygon

While creating a model sketch, I need a Polygon of 5 sides.  I used an Inscribed Polygon but forgot to change the default number of sides.  I went to edit it, found the polygon icon and selected it but from that point on I cannot find a way to get the number of sides to show up to edit.  I right clicked, double left clicked but I could not find a way to edit the number of sides.  I have tried Circumscribed Polygon as well with the same problem.  Can someone verify this or tell me what my issue is.

Yes, this is true.  It is true of most Sketch creation commands - there are no "features" in a sketch, just commands that automate creation of geometry.  That means that editing is limited.  For instance, you cannot edit a sketch fillet, say, and choose a different set of curves to fillet.  Once geometry is created, the only "edit" capability you have is to edit dimensions, delete/create constraints, etc.  The only real exception to this is sketch pattern - you can edit a sketch pattern.

Thanks Jeff, I saw the Polygon icon in the sketch, and I automatically assumed it would behave like a sketch pattern icon.  Wishful thinking of my part.
