The new snippet will need a Name, Number, Category and Thumbnail. The Number and Category can be left as default, but you will need to add a thumbnail before you save the snippet.

Adding Snippet HTML

The Snippet section has two modes: Design and HTML.

Design mode lets you add content with ease. HTML mode is useful for going in depth with the markup, and also if you want to paste in a Snippet (from CodePen for example)
