Template Editor

The Template Editor interface in the back office can be customized for each template through the editor.json file in the template folder.

The customizations you can apply to the Template Editor are:

• Choose which sections to show and in what order. For example, you could hide the HTML and CSS section.
• Give descriptive names to banner sections present in the template.
• Give descriptive names to menus present in the template.
• Define the custom variables that can be used in the template.

The editor.json file has the following shape:

    "format": "2020",
    "sections": [
        {
            "name": "logo-and-notes"
