You can create, modify, and delete CSS3 transitions using the CSS Transitions panel.
To create a CSS3 transition, create a transition class by specifying values for the transition properties of the element. If you select an element before creating a transition class, the transition class is automatically applied to the selected element.
You can choose to add the generated CSS code to the current document or specify an external CSS file.
