      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4. Edit the File<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Double-click it, or<\/strong> right-click on the file and choose Edit<\/strong> from the dropdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      In the editor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • You’ll see the file name at the top (1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Make your changes, then click Save<\/strong> (2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • A notification will confirm the file was saved successfully (3).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
