Administrator Settings Guide
Namo CrossEditor administrators can adjust CrossEditor's settings, including its interface settings through a special administrator web page. Administrators can adjust basic aspects of the editing environment such as the UI skin and the toolbar layout as well as the editing window's line spacing, image save path, language encoding and more.
If you do not adjust CrossEditor's settings in the administrator settings page, CrossEditor will use the default settings. The administrator settings page has been created to provide a convenient editing environment for the needs of each developer.
In this document, you will learn about the administrator settings page and how to set up and adjust the CrossEditor environment.
