    Adding a prefix to your style

    The Prefix option available in the Style tree is not vendor prefix. Site Studio automatically adds vendor prefixes for your where needed.

    Using the prefix option

    The Prefix option in the Selector menu allows you to add a prefix to a style. This can be any valid CSS selector. For example, you could add a Prefix class to your Heading 1 style called .blue and add a Font color property of Blue to it.  Then, on a parent container add the class .blue. This would target all Heading 1 elements within the container and make them blue.
