# Configuration

Frontend Editor has one screen with options. The plugins have no settings of their own.

 
## Open the options

 Go to **Components > Frontend Editor** and click **Options** in the toolbar.

## Site: CSS Framework

 Sets the classes of the buttons, tabs and input fields of the edit form on the site.

 
- **Automatic** (default): UIkit with YOOtheme Pro and its child templates, Bootstrap with every other template.
- **Bootstrap (Cassiopeia)**
- **UIkit (YOOtheme)**

 With UIkit, the tabs, buttons, icons and input groups of core and JCE fields are styled for YOOtheme.

 
## Permissions

 The **Permissions** tab sets who may create, edit and delete profiles. Who may edit which articles is still decided by the Joomla permissions of your articles and categories.

 
## Override the edit layout

 The form uses its own grid, so it works in Cassiopeia, YOOtheme and templates without a grid. To change the markup, copy

 `plugins/system/frontendeditor/tmpl/frontendeditor.php`

 to

 `templates/[your template]/html/plg_system_frontendeditor/frontendeditor.php`

 and edit the copy. Check your override after each update.
