Change Page Size on Tufte Template

I'm a begginer lyx user. I'm using the Tufte Book Template, and I need to personalize the paper size and the right margin (notefooters).
I'm using LyX in a Ubuntu installation. Thanks in advance.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Is the following what you're looking for?

Document > Settings > Page Layout

Document > Settings > Page Margins

I've tried it; but the values are grayed and can not be modified.
The Tufte Template is a special template. Should I modify a file directly?
Thanks in advance.

I just tried and they are indeed greyed out. I'm not sure what the solution is.

I'm sure that the Tufte template uses the geometry package. So you can add this command to your document preamble (LyX menu, Document, Settings, preamble):

\geometry{...}

You have a lot of options for margins and page and text size, take a look at the

geometry manual.
