Block Section Settings
Easy Content Builder uses Section Settings as a special block to determine your ideal layouts within a section:
NOTE: Mask image feature is only available for the PRO plan. You can configure this setting normally in the Theme Editor; however, you need to upgrade your plan to apply them to the front end.
- You can define 1-column, 2-columns, 3-columns, or 4-columns layouts that are fully responsive (See multiple-column layout examples).
- You can add as many sections on a page as you want. In each section, you create a Section Settings block to control the layout for that specific section.

How to create a parallax movement on scroll?
This feature is available for the Pro version only.
Parallax effects involve a page's background moving at a different speed than the foreground content.
NOTE: Supposed that you already created a Section Settings (where you upload your background image) and content blocks used as the foreground content, like this screenshot:
Enable a parallax movement on scroll:
Enter the Background Y position (the vertical position for the background image). In this demo, we applied the parallax scrolling to 2 sections (one with a value of -800; one with a value of 400).
Please note you can use px, %, vw, or vh units.
