4. Toggle the following five settings as desired:

* Safe mode: Safe mode (as opposed to unrestricted mode) will only accept the following tags:

  ```
  'a', 'abbr', 'acronym', 'b', 'blockquote', 'br',
  'code', 'col', 'colgroup', 'del', 'em', 'h1',
  'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6', 'hr',
  'i', 'img', 'ins', 'li', 'ol', 'p',
  'strong', 'sub', 'sup', 'table', 'tbody', 'td',
  'th', 'thead', 'tr', 'u', 'ul', 'area','caption',
  'data','details','div','dialog','dl','figcaption',
  'header','label','map','mark','pre','q','span','title'
  ```
* Unrestricted mode: Unrestricted mode (as opposed to safe mode) allows the use of any HTML tags, including those deemed 'unsafe' by safe mode.
* Embed homepage in standard Aristotle Page: This option will embed the customized HTML within the default homepage design, confined to a box rather than the full screen.
* Wrap homepage in Aristotle header & footer: This option retains the header, footer, and the HTML, while removing the default homepage body content.
* Display homepage without any wrapping: This option will only show the HTML code and will not display the header, footer, or any default homepage content.

**Notes:**&#x20;

* 'Safe mode' and 'unrestricted mode' are mutually exclusive settings; only one or the other can be active simultaneously
* 'Embed homepage in standard Aristotle page', 'Wrap homepage in Aristotle header & footer' and 'Display homepage without any wrapping' are mutually exclusive; only one of the three can be active simultaneously.

5. You can select 'Preview Changes' to see how your code will affect the appearance of the homepage upon saving. Once ready, select 'Save Custom homepage' to save your changes.
