Can I customize the appearance of my Lumin selection?

Can I edit or delete my Lumin selection after it has been shared?

Can I use Lumin on any web page?

What happens if a web page is updated after I've shared a Lumin selection?

If a web page is updated after a Lumin selection has been shared, the selection will still link to the original version of the page. If the selection is no longer visible on the updated page, users may need to create a new selection and share that instead.
