You can define the Template Editor settings globally or separately for a single design.

To change the global settings, open the Settings tab in the BackOffice admin panel. These settings are applied by default. To change settings for a single design, you can open the design you want to edit and click the gear icon on the toolbar. After that, the Settings window will appear.

When you make changes, they are only applied if you click Apply. If you don't want to save changes, click Cancel. You can also choose Reset to restore default values.

Tip

A blue dot next to an option means that it differs from a default value.
