"Import template" don't work for removing extra styles
Thanks for the report @javadsamiee but the issue is actually from the preset-webpage plugin https://github.com/artf/grapesjs/issues/3727#issuecomment-908255324 and not the core itself. The PR for the fix is welcome

### Describe the bug
**How to reproduce the bug?**
1. Add paragraph block
2. Open "Import template" and add these lines and press "Import"
` h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6{
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height:1.5;
}
p, span, div{
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height:1.5;
color:red;
}`
3. The imported codes working correctly
4. Now open "Import template" and remove those lines that added before and press "Import"
5. If you open "Import template" again you can see those codes yet and it is not possible to remove them at all, while we can add/remove styles related to blocks and components that have id for example:
` #issu{
padding:10px;
}`

Is it a bug or a normal behavior? if It is not a bug is there any solution?

Thanks for reporting this, @javadsamiee.
Great question about "Import template" don't work for removing extra styles. The recommended approach with ProseMirror is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));

- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
