I am trying to edit a module template so I went to my admin area clicked on system>templates. I then went to the template I wanted to edit and made the changes I needed but all I have is a preview button. I then clecked on preview thinking there might be a save option and there wasn\'t. Should there be one? I then went to the module itself and made the changes to the file via ftp cleared the templates_c folder and updated the module. Still no change. What am I doing wrong? Why can\'t I edit the default template?

In order to edit your templates you must first clone the one that you´re using.

Do this via admin>system>templates>clone.
