They will let you go in and edit it. I agree I have never heard them called stringers and actually I have only ever heard them called stiles.

The vertical members of a rigid ladder are called stringers or rails (US) or stiles (UK).

Guys, it’s been driving me nuts to read about ladder styles.  That’s not what they are called.  The vertical parts are stringers, rails or stiles.

The horizontal parts are called “rungs.”
