    The Document! X and HelpStudio Style Picker allows you to apply or remove existing Style Rules to content in your Project as well as create, edit and delete Style Rules and Template Style Rule Overrides.

    The Style Picker will become active when you have a content editor open and active.

    The Style Picker will display Style Rules that are defined in the custom Stylesheets in your Project or the active Custom Template that are applicable to the currently selected content in the active editor.

    A preview of the Style is displayed in the top section, the name of the Style Rule is shown in the bottom left. The CSS of the Style will also be displayed as a tooltip. The Edit and Delete buttons can be used to directly edit or delete the Style Rule.

    A Style Rule can be applied to selected content by ticking the checkbox beside it. If a custom Style Rule is applied to the selected content it will be displayed in the Style Picker with a tick and a highligh strip:
