Hi Ioana, It depends how your TYPO3 instance has been setup and how much access you've got to the system (e.g. full backend admin account or limited editor account). Updating template files is one option. They are usually located somewhere in the "fileadmin" directory (e.g. fileadmin/templates/ or fileadmin/Resources/), but again: it depends how the developers have set up the system. The visual appearance of a TYPO3 website (layouts, etc.) can also be implemented using extensions. In this case, have a closer look at the Extension Manager in the backend (requires full admin access) or in the directory typo3conf/ext/. However updating extensions by editing their files directly should be avoided, because your changes may get overwritten at the next update. Another option you often see is that certain elements, e.g. the company address, logos, copyright notes, etc. in headers/footers are implemented using TypoScript. Developers/Integrators could so something like this: lib.footer = TEXT lib.footer.value = <div class="footer">Company Name<br />Dummy Street<br />Test City<br />Country</div> You can then "inject" the variable lib.footer into the template files. The benefit is that the company details can be updated without the need to edit any template files. There are more options available, so maybe speak to the person who implemented the site for you, if the hints above did not help. And you possibly want to make sure, you have the appropriate access privileges required for the changes you want to make, e.g. full admin account in the backend of TYPO3.
