Okay, cool, thanks. That helps 
. I edited the info so it doesn’t show your specific information.
You’d use option two. Add everything from <meta> to /> to the head code. Under project settings, custom code. So this would be <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="your unique number I deleted" />. That’s all you need .
You can add any tracking/verification code here.
This is what mine looks like as an example.
Oh and, yes, the google verification does have a separate section under SEO. This is a newer feature so mine is still in the ‘head’
.
