# Edit/view source code option missing?

 * We use the classic editor for our blog, and when we paste in copy from approved
   Word documents, it’s easier to format by getting the code and taking it into 
   a code editor like brackets (to do find and replace, etc.)
 * It used to be available when you clicked the three dots.
 * Now, this option is suddenly missing.

 * I’m probably missing something but not sure where these three dots are 🙂

 * Generally you can always access the HTML from the Text tab, and HTML code can
   be pasted there.
