Overwriting a style

To edit an existing style, you can use the overwrite style option. When you overwrite the style, you can edit the existing style and add more node definitions. For example, if you want to construct a view based on the existing style with more formatting node definitions, you can overwrite the existing style. You can modify the node definitions as required. It saves your time to format a node from scratch and enhances the view building experience.

1. Open the view in edit mode.
2. Click the Create style icon.
   
3. In the View style window, select the Overwrite existing style option.
4. Select the style that you want to overwrite and click Ok.
   
   The application displays the following message:

   Style overwritten successfully.

   After you overwrite the style, you can edit the node definitions, and then save the changes to the existing style.

   You can also overwrite the style by using the Overwrite style icon that is available next to the Style name field in the Properties pane of the view.

   

5. Click Save to save the view with the style that you overwritten.
