Overview of updates.css

BPD websites all have a foundation CSS style sheet (theme.css), which gives the site its base style. To customise the look and feel, the CSS updates file (updates.css) can be edited to apply styling changes to elements throughout the site.  

Traditionally, these updates were done by Commerce Vision's design team, but from version 3.85+, a Style Sheet Editor is available in the CMS. Using this tool, the updates.css file can be edited by your own eCommerce Team, giving you greater flexibility in customising the styling of your website.

If your site version is 4.13.02 or higher, 'updates.css' is located in Advanced Content → Scripts & Styles → Style Sheets.
