HTML Editing
You can edit HTML of the template directly if you'd like. This is found under Tools > Source Code
If you are planning on editing the HTML yourself we'd advise using a mark up editor such as notepad++, brackets or visual studio code. This will make it much easier to edit your HTML, then paste it into the source box when you're finished.
Note: HTML editing is not supported for the template creator
