The configurator editor
A tour of the editor, with the toolbar, the 3D view, the options panel, the combination bar and the Manage window.
The editor shows your configurator as your customer will see it: the 3D view on the left and the options panel on the right. You change the panel in place, with the pencils and the Add new tiles.
To open the editor, select Edit on the card of a configurator. As an alternative, open its folder in My Drive and select Edit configurator.

The bar at the bottom of the 3D view shows each part of the picked combination, for example HEAD Round · 0.50 ct · 4 Prong and SHANK Classic. Select a part to open its menu.

The ⋯ button at the right end has the same choices for the whole combination.
