I am new to Ghost and anticipate having a number of authors & contributors to my site – [TheChocolateLife](https://thechocolatelife.com/).

I definitely see the value of snippets and have created one for my own use.

My questions are:

- Can you (how do you) edit a snippet?
- How does one (can one) delete a snippet? [Figured this one out!]
- As an admin, can I keep authors/contributors from making unauthorized snippets?

On a related issue – can I restrict certain cards, such as email embed so that certain contributors cannot use them?

So for the first two items, workflow seems to be:

1. Insert the snippet.
2. Delete the snippet.
3. Edit the text.
4. Save the edited snippet.
