442 PointsAdding an existing source code to a text editor
HI! I purchase a source code element from a company and I want to completely redesign and rework it. How do I add the code to my text editor to do just that?

Inside your "open" dialog you can navigate to where you have saved the source file on disk and open it to begin editing.
