I cannot select view on a sheet. How can I reactivate them?

I have several views setup on a sheet I cannot select them for editing. Normally I would double click on them and be able to make edits. it seems that the titles are also gone. How can I be able to edit these views?

 

Thank you

If they are not selectable, they may be pinned and you've turned off selection of pinned elements.

 

The view titles could be related to the viewport type.

 

Sharing an example file or at least some screenshots that illustrate your issue could be helpful.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Perhaps the views are pinned and you have disabled Selection of Pinned Elements.

The View Titles are gone?  You sure you didn't accidently double-click on the Titleblock and open the Titleblock Family?  Yah; sounds silly but it's a possibility nonetheless.

When on your sheet turn on the little light bulb (bottom left corner) to reveal hidden elements. It is likely the view has been hidden. When you hide a view on a sheet it is still visible but you cannot select it. The indicator is that the views no longer have a view title visible.

Seems like you are on to something,  the views appear hidden.   Although when 

I try to unhide, it is greyed out and not an option.  How do I unhide the views?

Sounds like the view is both hidden and pinned.

See the post where I asked you to show an addition part of your screen.  Show it.

It looks good, thank.  Without the file to figure out the root cause, I would just go ahead and fix it by right clicking on each view under the sheet in the browser and remove it from sheet, then place them on sheet again.

This article is such a gem. 
We had the same problem. One of draftsmen had tried to hide the floorplan in the sheet, and left it like that. We used the lightbulb solution and then unhide.
