Access Theme Templates

[Como]

I'm probably missing something obvious (running a low-grade fever here), but how do I access theme templates in v5? I wish to investigate adding a button in the mobile footer menu.

Thanks.

You can't edit theme templates.

Does this apply only to beta installations, or will it apply to the full release version?

Oh. I see. It is in Pages. Brain fart - I thought it was in Customization.

This applies to all releases. Templates are no longer something that can be edited on version 5. (other than pages of course)

I'm confused. I'll take a proper look - it probably will become more transparent to me then. Thanks.

Oh. Right. I understand now.

So, how would I go about adding an extra button the mobile footer menu? There is nothing obvious in Pages => Templates, but I assume there are methods/options to make these kinds of changes.

Template hook points is what you would be looking for

Turn on Desigener Mode and add a hook 👍

Thank you @Marc and @SeNioR-.

Is that to say we are now unable to remove certain elements we do not need? For example, I don't need the yellow highlighted area on my front page. My editors don't add articles from front end and with us wanting to put some blocks above the content this pushes the actual content down too far (IMHO). I cant move or remove it from the page editor or theme editor it would seem.

You can hide/remove it via custom JS or css.
