Step 5: Customize Your Template
Once the kit is imported, you’ll see all the templates in your Elementor library. Here’s what to do next:
- Create a new page or open an existing one.
- Click Edit with Elementor.
- From the Elementor editor, click the Folder icon to access your template library.
- Browse through your imported templates and select the one you want to use.
