# How and where do I add “Custom CSS” code?

To add CSS commands ([Cascading Style Sheets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS)),
just go to the “Custom CSS” text area on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress
and enter them there. They will override the default styling, so that you do _not_
have to change any files directly (such modifications would be lost after each TablePress
update).

Please note that you must not add the CSS code to the “Custom Commands” text field
on the table’s “Edit” screen! That field is used for a different type of code.
