# Edit code online

> Make changes directly in the browser editor.

The **Edit online** feature lets you update your site’s code directly in Fimo’s built-in editor. No setup required, everything happens in your browser.

## What you can do

* **View files**: open and explore your project’s codebase
* **Edit code**: update logic, styles, or layouts instantly
* **Delete files**: remove code you no longer need
* **Real-time preview**: see changes applied right away in the Preview window

## How saving works

Every change you make is saved instantly. Behind the scenes, Fimo groups your edits into a single commit after **1 minute of inactivity**, so your history stays clean and easy to follow.

<Note>
  Fimo relies on **Git** under the hood. This follows development best practices and makes it easy for engineers to jump into your project for advanced or custom development.
