    Click “Save” in the top right corner.

     Step 12

13. If you are using Chrome you will have to do a final save before the video will show. In Firefox and other browsers, the video can be seen in the preview mode. This is also true about videos.

14. Click ​​"Save" again to keep the changes you just made.

     Steps 13 & 14

15. If the video is not the right size: “Edit Page”, hover over the module and click “Edit”, and then go through the steps again. ​ 

      Step 15

16. If the video is too close to or too far away from another module: “Edit Page”, hover over the module and click “Edit”, and click on “Style” in the upper left corner. In the box you want to use to move the module add a positive number followed by px to increase space or a negative number followed by px to decrease space, e.g. 35px or -35px. If the module is at the top of the page “Margin” styles are usually best to use. If the module is second, third, etc. on the page, one of the “Padding” styles are usually best to use but, play around with all of them to see what works best for you.

      Step 16
    
    NOTE: The number must be followed by px because this is what tells the module how many pixels you want it to move e.g., 35px to increase space or -35px to decrease space.

    NOTE: “Style” is provided in every module. You can follow these steps if you would like to move any of the modules around.
