Note: Sometimes since this is a live layout editor we might do something wrong. We will get an error after entering the same item that it will tell to resolve it. Don't worry, do it. Also don't afraid to experiment as much as you want even if you "break" something (which is almost impossible) it can't affect functionalities, code and other stuff running in back.
