When to Edit Code ​

Most of the time, just talk to the AI. But manual editing is useful for:

  • Small tweaks (colors, sizes, text)
  • Debugging issues
  • Learning how the code works
  • Fine-tuning AI-generated code

Read-Only Warning

In Code view, you'll see a "Read only" indicator. This is a reminder that the AI generates code - you can still edit, but changes may be overwritten by AI responses.
