-==== Differences between Standard and Advanced Mode ====+===== Differences between Standard and Advanced Mode =====
 The main goal of the **Standard Mode** is to provide enough information and give enough control to do "day to day" design changes, it takes out the information and controls that are not needed by most people when they may need to change the design.  Advanced mode gives full control and displays more information, so much so that it can be overwhelming for users still getting used to the design system.  Advanced mode is only recommended for those already familiar with the basics of how the design section works, and who may need more control than normal. The main goal of the **Standard Mode** is to provide enough information and give enough control to do "day to day" design changes, it takes out the information and controls that are not needed by most people when they may need to change the design.  Advanced mode gives full control and displays more information, so much so that it can be overwhelming for users still getting used to the design system.  Advanced mode is only recommended for those already familiar with the basics of how the design section works, and who may need more control than normal.

-===== Default Template Set - do not change! ===== 
- 
-The **default** template set will never be able to be modified in the admin panel, you will be working with another template set. 
- 
-The reasons for this, and also why you should never edit **geo_templates/default/** manually (using FTP or other means): 
-  * Having the default templates and files un-modified makes for easy restoring templates if an edit ever messes things up.  Just click the button to restore the default in the admin panel! 
-  * During the course of troubleshooting, Geo Support may over-write the contents of the default template set.  Again, the **default template set is fair game to be over-written** by Geo Support for troubleshooting purposes. 
-  * The default template set will be over-written every time you update.((This is the primary reason you cannot edit the default template set from the admin panel, and why we discourage editing it from FTP.)) 
- 
-Instead, make alterations in your own custom template set.  When you first view any pages in the Design section((Except for Text Search page)), there will be a tool to create the starter custom template set, which will be a copy of the main files from the default template set.  By default the starter template set is named **my_templates** but you can change the name during creation if you wish.
