This screen is accessed from the back-end Joomla! administrator panel. It is used to edit template master files and associated stylesheets.

Navigate to the Template Manager: Templates screen. To edit a template, click on the templates's name.

This is where you edit a template's source code. You can edit the template's master files and stylesheets from this screen.

Edit main page template. The primary file used for the template's layout.
Edit error page template. The template layout for the site's error pages.
Edit print view template. The template layout for the site's print view function.

This section contains all of the template's editable stylesheets. Click on a stylesheet's name to edit its source code.

At the top right you will see the toolbar:

Close. Returns to the previous screen without saving your work. If you press Close while adding a new item, this new item will not be created. If you were modifying an existing item, the modifications will not be saved.

Before editing the HTML and the CSS file of the template, it is a good idea to make a backup of the file you are editing. Also, you can edit these files outside of Joomla! using the HTML or CSS editor of your choice.
