Changes are directly made in front-end, and no coding knowledge required. You may be wondering how this is possible ? Take a look at below screenshot which explains it well.
Many options can be controlled from front end. Enable hooks, enable drag and drop editor, reset all options to default, enter custom size for sidebar and main content, add logo, social media, etc options can be controlled from here.
