To make a page element editable in derived pages or child templates, select it on the page template or in the Page Structure pane (![Page Structure](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_domtree.png)) and click **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Make Editable**, or select **Editable** in the Properties pane (![Properties](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_properties.png)).

When the page template is open, editable page elements are highlighted with a blue border on the page. They also display a pencil icon (![Editable page element](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_editable.png)) in the Page Structure pane and in the information popup that appears when you hover over the element on the page.

By adding common page elements to the template and then basing site pages on it, you can achieve a consistent look and feel throughout your site. And because a template-based page inherits the template's elements, you can make site-wide changes from one location.")
