STEP 2. Edit your custom Design Element
Look for the custom element you created and click Edit.
STEP 3. Add %%attribute%% to the content you want to edit
To make an editable design element, you need to add %%attribute%% to the content you want to edit.
NOTE: You can replace the word attribute with any title or word you want. Just remember to add %% before and after the word you chose. For example, you can replace attribute with Title. You will then write iit as %%Title%%.
For this guide, we want the name of our page to be editable, so we added the %%attribute%% to the title of the page.

After adding %%attribute%%, click Update.
Then, click Save changes.
