To open up the customizer, select from the top bar or Dashboard > Appearance > Customizer. The customizer provides a key route to modifying many of the website fundamentals, e.g.:
Switch template
Change colour scheme (template dependent)
Change fonts and font styles (template dependent)
Modify menus (you can do this also from the Dashboard > Appearance > Menus)
Modify Widgets (these are the marginalia like the sidebar and footer, if supported)
Adjust the front page settings
Add custom styles (for advanced users mainly)

The customizer’s main feature is the ability to preview the changes on screen before you commit to them. Moreover you can save a draft of your changes, share that draft with colleagues, or abandon the changes altogether later if they are not approved. You can also schedule a change to go live at a later time or date.
