5. Carefully edit the placeholder text as desired. 
6. Edit or delete the line that reads “Content after: select and edit or delete”. It is placeholder text for content after the snippet. You can select it and edit it, add another snippet, or delete it. It must appear there or else a user cannot add content below the snippet in the editor.
