- Publish Changes:
- If you are working on a live theme, remember to click Publish to make your changes visible to users.

By following these steps, you can directly edit the code of custom pages within your Zendesk Guide theme, giving you granular control over their appearance and functionality.
Understanding the Editing Environment
When you click Edit code, you enter an environment where you can see and modify the underlying files that make up your Guide theme. Custom pages are typically separate files within this structure, allowing for unique content outside the standard help center articles.
Key Considerations:
- Editing code requires some familiarity with web technologies like HTML, CSS, and potentially Javascript.
- Be cautious when editing live themes, as errors can immediately affect your help center's appearance or functionality. It's often recommended to work on a copy of your theme or utilize a staging environment if available.
This method specifically addresses editing custom pages via code within Zendesk Guide, as detailed in the provided reference. Other parts of Zendesk or other types of edits might require different processes.
