Frequently asked questions
What is a .scss file?
A CSS preprocessor language adding variables, nesting, and mixins, compiled down to plain CSS before use in a browser.
Can I edit a .scss file?
Yes — .scss files are commonly editable with software such as Sass compiler.
Does having a .scss extension mean the file is safe?
No single extension can guarantee that. Source code is plain text and doesn't execute on its own — it has to be compiled or run by a specific tool, which is where any real risk would occur. Always consider where the file came from, not just its name.
