 See the [[http://citationstyles.org/citation-style-language/documentation/|documentation page]] of the CSL project website for information on making CSL changes (in particular, make sure to take a look at the [[http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html|CSL specification]]. Below we discuss a few common and simple style edits to get you started.
+=== Change the Style Title and ID ===
+**Important:** Before installing your edited style, you must change the style title and ID at the type of the style code. If you don't change these, your modified style will be overwritten the next time the original style is updated.
+The style title and ID are stored within the ''<title/>'' and ''<id/>'' elements near the top of the style. For example,
+<code><title>Harvard Reference format 1 (Author-Date)</title>
+<id>http://www.zotero.org/styles/apa</id></code>
+can be changed to
+<code><title>Harvard Style Modified</title>
+<id>http://www.zotero.org/styles/apa-modified</id></code>
+The URLs that you put in as an ID do not have to exist (i.e., you can use a zotero.org/style/mystyle type ID even if the style will not be posted on the Zotero repository).
+=== Validation ===
+Before installing a modified style, always make sure it is valid XML and CSL by [[https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Validation|validating against the CSL schema]].

 If a case is missing in your style, you can add that and fill out what and how the information should be rendered in that case ([[https://www.zotero.org/styles/chicago-fullnote-bibliography?source=1|an example of such a full footnote style]]).
