Next,
decide which template set you would like to
clone and convert. (When you clone and convert a

be changed. Instead, a new advanced template set
will be created based on the existing template
set. You will then be able to directly edit the
HTML of that set.)

on the checkbox next to the Template Set you
want to clone and convert and press the “convert”
button. You will be prompted by a pop-up window
to whether you wish to proceed with the
conversion. If you wish to continue, click “Yes,
Convert.”
