Sections and Section Parts

Learn about the different types of sections you can use to organize content and build layouts on your page, plus how to add them. Pre-set responsive section parts make placement easy—just note that resizing them can break the responsive settings.

What is a section?

A section is a box used to organize and divide the layout within a page. The <section> tag is applied by default, so there's no need to set the HTML tag yourself.

When building out your page structure, it's most efficient to start by adding a section, then place content like images and text boxes inside it.


Types of sections you can add

There are two types of sections you can add in Studio.Design:

(A) Section parts: Pre-built sections with ready-made designs and content layouts. Responsive settings are already configured, so you can use them as-is.

(B) Empty sections (boxes): Blank sections that you can lay out however you like.

If you're building a page for the first time, we recommend starting with section parts.


(A) Adding a section part

  1. Open the [Add] panel from the navigation on the left side of the screen.

  2. Click the [Section] tab in the Add panel.

  3. Choose the category of section part you want to place, then click [Show all].

  4. Click the part you want to place, or drag it onto the screen.

  5. Edit the images, text, links, and colors.

Note: Editing the size of boxes inside a section part may break the responsive settings that were originally configured.

Tips: Common questions about placed section parts

For questions about editing section parts, see the help articles below.

  • When I change an image, text, or link, other boxes change too:
    This happens because the box you're editing is part of a list. If the border turns light blue when you click a box, that box is part of a list.
    Take a look at how lists work and follow the steps for editing them.

  • I want to use the header on other pages too:
    Turn the header into a component and place it on the other pages.

(B) Adding an empty section

  1. Open the [Add] panel from the navigation on the left side of the screen.

  2. Click the [Basic] tab in the Add panel.

  3. Click the [Section] part, or drag it onto the screen.

Tips: Setting the section width

The width of a section becomes the maximum width for the content placed inside it. By setting the maximum width using px units, you can prevent layout issues on larger displays.
