I’m new to SketchUp and have been watching a few youtube videos to help the steep learning curve! One one of the videos for the free version shows how you can edit materials but when I click on the edit icon in materials the sidebar comes up with the upgrade option. What am I missing?
In short: Ca$h to buy a “SketchUp Shop” licence.
Unfortunately web based free version does not allow to edit materials. Maybe the video you have seen not only about free version.

Hi dezmo. Definitely free online version. Video dated 17 Feb 2020. Is the online version of free different?
Just knowing the date of de video I can not judge the content… Can you please share a link of that video?
I don’t understand this? Different compared to what?
There is a different online versions:

Just gone back to the video and looked at the comments below and it seems the guy who posted it was using a 30 day trial with extra features and hadn’t realised, so that seems to answer my question.
Lol - I’m that guy - sorry about that 
It literally didn’t mention anything about me being on a trial anywhere, so I totally missed it when filming the video
Wow Justin, you’re still using the free trial? 
. You should really check out SketchUp Pro. There are some great videos on YouTube by this guy…

I’m confused, there should be no difference editing a material in Pro during trial or after the trial and I don’t think the web version does trials, so it either works (shop) or it doesn’t (free).
Can you link the tut so I can get my head around this.
Edit: I think I got it now, if you have the Studio trial it gives you access to the shop version until the trial ends. So I can see how it happened.
LOL - this may surprise you, but the free online version isn’t the primary tool I’m using right now
