- Then it will take you to the site editor where you will find the ‘Styles’ option on the top right side.
- There you will see three dots saying ‘Styles Actions’. Click on that and you will find the ‘Additional CSS’ option.
- Clicking on Additional CSS will lead to a box where you can put your custom CSS.
