Customise a template project later

A project that came from a template keeps its form. You can reopen it any time from the editor.

Edit the values

1. Open the project.
2. In the left panel, choose the Customise tab. It only appears for projects that were started from a template.
3. Change the fields, for example Business name, Brand colour or Services.
4. Choose Save changes.

Studio checks the values, rewrites the project's settings file pgb.config.json (only the variables; other settings are kept) and creates a Customised save point. The note at the top says "Saving changes your project's settings file and makes a save point you can go back to." You see Saved. when it is done and the preview refreshes.

If the form is not there

A project that did not start from a template, such as one made with Describe your app, shows "This project was not started from a template, so there is nothing to customise here."

How it connects to the code

The template reads values from pgb.config.json. You can also edit that file directly in the Files tab. Both routes end up in the same place, and if the assistant edits it, the form follows.

Locked files

Files marked Locked are what the template depends on. Change your content through the form rather than unlocking them. If you do unlock a file, any later template-driven changes to it may behave differently.

Good to know
