Content and structure

Modules are your page’s building blocks. Use them to make it easier for users to navigate the space. For example, use a News module to highlight blog posts, or direct users to other pages using Button modules and Icon modules.

Structure a page by clustering modules:

• The largest possible group is called a section. It can have its own settings, including backgrounds.

• Sections can be further organized into rows. Rows can also have their own settings and backgrounds.

• Rows can can contain up to six columns that contain modules.

You can easily switch up your design by dragging and dropping modules, sections, and rows around.

Simply hover your mouse over the desired location and click the + Add module button that appears. Available modules:

Add a section or row

Use text variables

Use text variables to make the content of your modules dynamic. For example, you can use them in a heading or body text to personally welcome a user to your space, or in a news module’s settings to show news from another space.

Drafts and publishing

We automatically save drafts for you. The green check mark icon shows that the design you are working on is saved as a draft.
