 * Hello,
 * I am working in an Astra Starter Template and I would like to understand if I
   can use both Elementor and Spectra to edit in a given site without damaging the
   template
 * Please advice,
 * Thank you very much!

 * Hi Liliana,
 * You can install Elementor on your site alongside another page builder as long
   as you just don’t edit each other’s content. Using Elementor along with other
   page builders might result in a plugin conflict or it might create some unwanted
   changes to the page content.
 * Please note that with Elementor you’ll be able to create and edit new pages, 
   but it will not allow you to edit existing pages that were not built with Elementor.
 * I hope this answers your questions, thank you!

 * Thank you Rabina,
 * Let´s see if I understood; I can create and edit a page with Elementor exclusively,
   and another page with Spectra exclusively but NOT both of them together in the
   same page and this will not harm the website.
 * If this is correct, please advice me as to how I should manage headers and footers.
 * Thank you again!

 * Hi Liliana,
 * Since you are using both the builder to create the site that might not work properly
   due to compatibility issues.
 * I would recommend using Elementor Header/Footer if the website is created only
   with Elementor Builder else you can try using the default Theme Header/Footer
   and see if it works using both the Builder.
 * Also, the light version of Elementor does not have an option for the Header/Footer
   Theme Builder. So, if you are an Elementor Pro user, you can open a support ticket
   at [my.elementor.com](http://my.elementor.com/)
 * I’d also suggest you check out our Elementor Community forum, we have created
   it to connect Elementor users together and share knowledge, [my.elementor.com](http://my.elementor.com/).
 * WordPress.org rules state that [commercial products are not supported here](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products).
