# Edit HTML or Code in Plesk

While you can use any text editor you like (Sublime, Notepad++, and Vim are a few examples), you have the ability to edit html and code within Plesk using the File Manager. This includes ones already uploaded or files just recently created.

1. First, [upload](https://www.liquidweb.com/help-docs/uploading-files-in-plesk/) or [add files](https://www.liquidweb.com/help-docs/adding-files-and-folders-in-plesk/) you want to edit using the File Manager utility.  
      
    | ### **Warning:**     If the document you’re creating or editing is to be seen from your website, make sure your file is uploaded in the httpdocs directory of Plesk. |
