Editing a Snippet

What you should know:

Once the Snippet is inserted on the page, it appears as a table, and you edit certain cells with your content. Typically, each row in the table represents an item in the snippet.

For example, in the Accordion snippet, each row creates a separate accordion item. Other snippets work in a similar fashion where each row creates a new item.

Rows are highlighted in yellow.
