The changes you make are immediately applied to the current document, allowing you to 
preview your changes as they are made. If you are editing rules stored in an external style 
sheet, be sure to save your changes to see your updates applied.

If you modify CSS rules that are in a style sheet used by more than one document, those 
changes will be reflected in those pages as well.

1.

In the CSS Styles panel (Window > CSS Styles), select All mode.

2.

In the All rules pane, double-click the name of the style sheet you want to edit.

3.

In the Document window, modify the style sheet as desired, and then save the style sheet.
