When it comes to editing templates, we have three editors built-in – an HTML5 template editor for modern desktop browsers, a Flash editor for legacy browsers and a touch-optimised template editor for iPad and tablets. Depending on the device the client is using, we’ll show the most appropriate editor automatically.
