# Editor Lite

## Why use the lightweight editor?

The default `ae-editor` image includes several pre-configured conda environments to support a range of common data science workflows. If you prefer a more minimalistic installation of Workbench, or need to [configure your own custom environments](/docs/data-science/latest/admin/custom_env_proj) due to internal security requirements, use the `ae-editor-lite` image instead.

## Switching to the lightweight editor

    <Warning>
      Switching to the `ae-editor-lite` image post installation on your own is possible, but we still recommend [opening a support ticket](https://support.anaconda.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) to schedule time with an Anaconda Integration Engineer if you want to use the lightweight editor.
    </Warning>

    1. Follow instructions for [setting platform configurations using the Helm chart](/docs/data-science/latest/admin/advanced/settings#setting-platform-configurations-using-the-helm-chart) and add the following lines to the bottom of your `helm_values.yaml` file:

       ```yaml theme={null}
       image:
         suffix: lite
       ```

    2. Once the helm upgrade completes, restart your pods by running the following command:

       ```sh theme={null}
       # Replace <NAMESPACE> with the namespace where your pods are running (the default namespace is anaconda)
       kubectl delete -n <NAMESPACE> --wait=false $(kubectl get pods -o name|grep ap-)
       ```
  </Tab>

    For Gravity installations, this process is slightly more complex, and not user friendly. Please contact your dedicated Account Manager or [open a support ticket](https://support.anaconda.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) to schedule time with an Anaconda Integration Engineer to switch to the lightweight editor.
