- From here, you can:
- update the value of existing options: click Edit on an option to change its current value, then click Update.
- add a new option: select an option from the dropdown, set the value, and click Add.
- remove unwanted options: click Remove on an existing option to remove it from the widget.
- Click Apply once you've finished, then Save your changes on the widget.
