| <context> To modify an existing item in a Snippets drawer, complete the steps | |

| type="task">Adding an item to a snippets drawer</xref> and the <wintitle>Customize | |
| Palette</wintitle> window is still open, you can skip steps 1 and 2.</context> | |
| <steps> | |
| <step><cmd>In the Snippets view, right-click the name of the item that you | |
| want to modify, and select <uicontrol>Customize</uicontrol>.</cmd></step> | |
| <step><cmd>Optionally, type a new name and a new description for the item.</cmd> | |
| </step> | |
| <step><cmd>To declare a variable, click <uicontrol>New</uicontrol> and type | |
| the variable's name, description, and default value.</cmd></step> | |
| <step><cmd>To edit an existing variable, type over the existing values.</cmd> | |
| </step> | |
| <step><cmd>To edit the <uicontrol>Template Pattern</uicontrol> field, type | |
| into the field, cut and paste into the field, or, if you have defined one | |
| or more variables, click the <uicontrol>Insert Variable Placeholder</uicontrol> button, | |
| and double-click the name of the variable that you want to insert.</cmd><stepxmp>For | |
| example, if you have declare variables named <varname>uri</varname> and <varname>prefix</varname>, | |
| clicking the button brings up a menu that contains those names. Double-clicking <varname>uri</varname> inserts <codeph>${uri}</codeph>, | |
| as in the following example:<codeblock><%@ taglib uri="${uri}" prefix="${prefix}" %></codeblock></stepxmp> | |
| <stepresult>Later, when you insert the snippet into a file, <codeph>${uri}</codeph> and <codeph>${prefix}</codeph> are | |
| each converted to the default value declared in the Variables table. Users | |
| can replace the default values in the <uicontrol>Insert Template:</uicontrol><varname>Item_name</varname> dialog | |
| at insertion time.</stepresult></step> | |
| <step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>OK</uicontrol>.</cmd></step> | |
