5. You can preview the theme on the right-hand side of the page. Once you’re happy with the changes, click on Use this theme to update it.
6. The changes you made cannot be reverted, so make sure you want to apply them before clicking Confirm in the pop-up.

Edicy allows you to personalize your website with custom assets that you can add to any page. To start uploading yours, go to the Assets page on the Edicy dashboard and follow these steps:

   • List view: A more detailed, text-based view.
4. In list view, click on the column headers to organize your files as needed. Files can be sorted by name, size, and date added or organized to display only images or documents.
5. To delete a file, hover over its row in the Optimized column and click on the trash bin icon to remove it from your assets.
