Add Section

To add a new section, you need to add a special block called Section Settings. This block allows you to manage the layouts of your section by choosing your preferred layouts (1-column, 2-column, 3-column, 4-column, or hierarchical layouts) and global configurations (full-width layout, mask color, mask image, background video, parallax animation, etc.).

You can add multiple sections to a page. For each section, you can utilize a Section Settings block to customize the layout for that particular section.

This video provides instructions on adding your first section:

After adding the Section Settings block, the theme editor preview will show a blank placeholder. Once you add the new content blocks as per the guide Add Blocks below, they will appear in the theme editor.

Add the background video

In the Section Settings block, select a video to use as the section's background. After adding it, you can click the Change button below the video to delete or replace it.

Add the background color

In the Section Settings block, you can customize the section's background color using CSS or Gradient options. Simply click the Background Color and use the Gradient color picker or enter the new color value in the CSS Code field.

Add the background container color

Set text color

In the Section Settings block, customize the text color within the section, which is great for adjusting the text color when using a dark background.

Adjust the column gap

In the Section Settings block, you can also set the gap (in pixels) between the rows/columns.

Note: Apart from adjusting the margin/padding in the Section Settings configuration, you can also open each block within that section to further adjust the padding/margin for each block (Each section may contain multiple blocks).
