In this video tutorial, we cover the configuration of the Helix Ultimate template on the framework with the same name. The video examines the *Main* and *Presets* sections of the settings.
This video will be useful not only when using this specific template but also when working with other templates built on the Helix Ultimate framework. This applies to templates from [JoomShaper](https://www.joomshaper.com/joomla-templates "Joomla Templates"), [Unitemplates](https://www.unitemplates.com/joomla-templates "Joomla Templates"), and [other developers](https://themeforest.net/search/helix%20ultimate?sort=date#content "Helix Ultimate Website Templates").
Not all templates will have identical configuration capabilities, but a significant number of options may overlap with what is demonstrated in this video tutorial.
