Brief Overview
The Customize Menu in the Editor allows you to modify visual aspects of your WalkMe implementation, including the Desktop Widget, Smart Walk-Thru Balloons, and SmartTips. If you would like to change the widget’s default appearance or behavior, you’ll need to refer to the Customize Player tab.
