On the left menu of the Theme Editor, select the page on which you want to add a Custom Snap-In.

Select Custom Snap-In from the drop down “Available Snap-In Modules” and click the yellow plus sign.

 

You will then see the following section added to your page.  You may need to expand the “Snap-Ins (CONTENT AREA)” by clicking on the orange triangle in the upper left hand corner.

You will now need to Expand the “Custom Snap-in”  editor by clicking on the orange triangle in the upper left hand corner. The expanded editor should look similar to the image below.



In the text box next to “Custom Control Path,” you will need to enter the path to your Custom Snap-In (ex: “/MyCustomSnapIn.ascx”). Your path must point to a .NET Control file ending in .ascx, the control must be a valid control and the file must exist, or the textbox will not keep the value you entered after you save.  After you have clicked “Save” expand the “Custom Snap-In” editor to verify that that path setting was correct. Once this is done your custom snap-in is ready for styling and use.
