  4. Click on the template title, as shown in the screenshot below.

 

Click on the template title of the template in the site editor.
After clicking the title, a popup search field will appear. This search field helps you locate the Reset command.

A pop up will appear after you click on the template title.
Type Reset in the search field.

  • If your site has global custom styles to clear, you will see Reset styles to defaults as shown in the screenshot below. Click on “Reset styles to defaults” if you see it.
  • If you do not see this option, your site does not have any global custom styles to reset.

Type reset on the command pop up.
Click on reset styles to defaults.
That’s it. You can check the frontend of your site to see if any global custom styles are still showing up.
