Rotate text box direction in draw.io

Question

In draw.io I have text box with default text direction horizontal. I am trying change the text direction to vertical or trying to rotate the text box 90 degrees. I don't find any option do that.

Could anybody point me to how to do that?

Instead of rotating the text inside a box, you can rotate the box with handle then use 'rotate shape only' button in 'arrange' tab

Also: Text, Alignment, Vertical - A rotation handle has also been added.

In addition, on the "Text" pane, there is a button with 3 up arrows you can use to switch between text directions:
