How to edit Smart Stacks?

Apart from setting widgets on the home screen, the new iOS 14 update allows iPhone users to stack widgets on top of each other. All you need to do is drag and drop a widget on top of the other. However, the smart stacks only work for same-sized widgets, meaning that every widget in a stack needs to be of the same size. Once you have created a smart stack, you can easily change the order by swiping them up or down the stack.
