#What is This Course?

"How to Edit Template" is a free, text-based tutorial (likely 5–10 minutes reading time, structured as a concise step-by-step article) on the Framer Marketplace, created by Adam Sebesta. This framer resource targets complete beginners who open a template and feel unsure where to start customizing—providing a gentle, visual walkthrough of Framer's editing basics. The guide covers selecting elements (canvas click, layers panel), changing text/images/colors, overriding components safely, adjusting layouts/sections, and preserving responsiveness. Presented as a numbered, practical article with tips and examples, it uses Framer's canvas, properties panel, and layers for no-fear editing. No video runtime or duplicatable project is explicitly noted (series often pairs with template starters), but it's designed for direct use in any downloaded Marketplace template. It's invaluable for new Framer users turning "someone else's design" into "my perfect site"—building confidence and speed while keeping everything professional and maintainable.
