IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. There will be some minor differences between the CGCI editor and the documentation, due to application integration specifications. For instance, not all buttons in the editor documentation are on the CGCI editor. If you don't see all the buttons from the documentation, that is because we are not using all of them. This guide is meant to be a general guide to understand the editor tools we do use.
