The Plesk File Manager includes built-in text and code editors, so you can edit files directly on the server without downloading and re-uploading them. This is useful for making quick changes to configuration files, PHP scripts, or HTML pages.

### Editing a File

1. Log in to **Plesk**.
2. Go to **Websites & Domains** → click your domain → **Files**.
3. Navigate to the file you want to edit.
4. Hover over the file and click the context menu (three dots).
5. Click **Edit in Code Editor** (for code files) or **Edit in Rich Editor** (for HTML with a visual editor).
6. Make your changes in the editor.
7. Click **Save** or **OK** to apply the changes.

### Creating a New File

1. In File Manager, navigate to the directory where you want to create the file.
2. Click **New** → **Create File**.
3. Enter the file name (e.g., `test.php` or `.htaccess`).
4. Click **OK**.
5. The file will be created and opened in the editor.

### Important Notes

- Changes take effect **immediately** after saving.
- Always **back up a file** before editing (right-click → **Copy** and rename the copy).
- The Code Editor supports syntax highlighting for PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other web languages.
- For files larger than 1 MB, downloading and editing locally is recommended.

### Troubleshooting

**"Edit" option is not available for a file:**

- The file type may not be supported by the editor. Download and edit locally.

**Website breaks after editing a file:**

- Restore from your backup copy.
- Check for syntax errors in your code.
