Hello fellows,
The documentation on Squarespace (as of this date), still reflects the ability to modify a "template" (in both 7.0 and 7.1) within the Design options. This is clearly not true.
I have not used Squarespace in some years, and I'm just coming back to the platform. This upgrade from template to... whatever this is, seems more like a limiting factor than a contribution that expands Squarespace's potential. Even if the components are essentially the same, there is value to being able to test and change what you're doing based on existing available design configurations.
If there's a workaround to this, I'd be very interested in hearing about it. This feels incomplete.
