The functions are:

- Save & Close. Saves the template source file and closes the current screen.
- Cancel/Close. Closes the current screen and returns to the previous screen without saving any modifications you may have made.

[edit] Quick Tips
- Important: Do not delete the default template files using FTP because it generates an error in both the front-end and back-end.
- 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.
