If you saved product data as a CSV file in your personal directory on the Optimizely server, you can load product offers into your messages and [edit](docId\:ys4q1hO4gnzVHTSuDpPxj) them as necessary in the [Template Kit](docId\:jRJZaVEfgoLqt9ai1hzyD) within a static CSV article. See [general settings](docId:_tFz-uO3tstT14z9bsx80) to change content interface paragraph settings. To integrate dynamic product data into the Template Kit, see [Dynamic CSV and XML articles](docId:7bCldKbRlT9XdWd1hfnGi).

2. Make your changes and click **Apply**.

   **Warning**

   Do not change the layout template if you lack advanced HTML and CSS skills. Doing so can lead to errors, which means that your product offers will not display properly. If you want to modify the layout template but lack HTML and CSS skills, contact [customer support](docId\:ZWe1T3UPz3JW6_4mc76qV).

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
Edit the content of your product offers in the CSV file. Then, re-upload the modified CSV file to the server. This ensures that your product offers are up-to-date and that no old, subsequently modified content in the CSV file is loaded into the Template Kit.
To update an existing content interface article, go to the article's menu bar, click **Content Interface** ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/FWDyCgTLz5SlmdiBK6B7G-20260720-145318.png), select the appropriate product offer again, and click **Apply**.

:::hint{type="danger" indent="2"}
**Warning**

[Customer support](docId\:ZWe1T3UPz3JW6_4mc76qV) can configure the content interface paragraph so that product offers are updated at dispatch by comparing it with your CSV file. If this option is configured, changes to product offers must be made in the CSV file. If you only make changes in the Template Kit, they are overwritten at dispatch with old content from the CSV file.
