How to Add Custom CSS in Elementor?
Select a section, inner section, container, or inner container and follow the steps –
1. Go to Advanced > Plus Extras: Custom CSS.
2. Then in the Custom CSS section, you can write your custom CSS.
You can write global CSS rules that can affect the entire site or you can use the “selector” prefix to target the section itself or the content within the section only.

For example, if you only want to change the background color of H2 in the section you can write the CSS like this
selector h2{
background-color:red;
}
This will only change the background color of H2 in that section.
Following this process, you can target and customize the style of any widget.
