If you've ever found the need to edit a text file on your website, you know how much of a pain it is to find the file, view it, save it, edit it, and then upload it. Not only is this process very time consuming, it also leaves room for a lot of mistakes, and one simple mistake makes for a very large headache.
Those days are over. Now you can edit your text files from right in your construction tools. For advanced users, EZ-TextEditor is a great way to work on external JavaScript, CSS, and XML documents.

You can also access EZ-TextEditor from within EZ-FileManager. This is particularly useful if you would like to work on multiple text files in one sitting.

To protect you from losing your data due to computer crashes and power outages, EZ-TextEditor has an automatic backup feature included in it. While you're working on your file, a backup will be saved periodically. Then if your computer crashes, you can come back and recover the changes that you had made. EZ-TextEditor will backup your current changes every 10 minutes, so you will never lose more than 10 minutes worth of work on your website.

 Like EZ-PageBuilder, you need to exit properly when you're done working on your file. In EZ-TextEditor, this is done by clicking on the  button.
Exiting Properly ensures that your document is saved properly before you exit EZ-TextEditor. If you don't exit properly, you run the risk of losing some or all of your work.
