  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Each template can only be edited once every **24 hours**. Plan your changes carefully before saving, as you won't be able to make further edits until the next day.

  If you try to adjust it multiple times within that timeframe, you will see an alert message on the template.
</Warning>
