There are two options:

1. Form Wizard Setup
2. Classic Text Editor: This option will show you the content of the .env file and allow you to manually edit the content like you would do on your computer text editor.

### Using Form Wizard Setup

When using the form wizard setup, you would be shown a form with labelling, indicating the entry expected for each form input.

* The first page is meant for app settings e.g app name, app environment (local, staging, dev, production) etc.
