Touring the Page Builder Screen

⏱️ 5-7 min

Find every panel and top bar button in the page builder, and explain how a page stacks Section, Row, Column, and Element.

Where it lives

The four parts of the screen

Click Search at the top of your screen and type Funnels (or Websites), then open it. You can also find it in your menu, but menus can be renamed, so search is the sure way. Open a step or page and click Edit. The builder loads with four parts.

Your toolbox on the left

The left panel holds the tools you build with. Look for Add Elements, Layers, and Pages.

  • Add Elements is where you grab text, images, and buttons
  • Layers is an outline list of everything on the page
  • Pages lets you jump to another page without leaving

Your page in the middle

The canvas is the page itself. What you see here is what visitors see, so this is where you click and build.

  • Click any item to select it
  • Hover over a section to see its small toolbar

The right side changes what you click

Click an element on the canvas and the right sidebar fills in with its settings. If you ever feel lost, click the thing you want to change.

  • General holds content and text settings
  • Styles holds spacing, borders, and visibility
  • Animations holds the movement effects

Views, versions, and publishing

Across the top you will find the Desktop and Mobile toggle, Popup Settings, the Cookie Consent icon, and the clock icon for Versions.

  • Preview shows the page like a visitor sees it
  • Save keeps your work without going live
  • Publish makes it live
The big idea

How a page stacks together

Think of a house. Every page is built in four layers, one inside the next.

1

Section

A section is a floor of the house. It is a full-width band across the page.

2

Row

A row sits inside a section, like a room. Use a row for one job.

3

Column

A column sits inside a row and splits the room into spaces side by side.

4

Element

Elements go inside a column. They are the furniture: text, images, buttons, and forms. Open Layers and click one of each level to see them nest.

⚡ Tips

  • This one editor builds funnel steps, website pages, webinar pages, blog posts, and store pages.
  • When something will not move where you want, Layers tells you which level you grabbed.
  • Check the Mobile view often, because many visitors are on phones.
  • Icon order and labels in the top bar can look a little different in your account, so look for the names.

Finish by asking me: "Which part of the screen still feels confusing?"

🏷️ Plan names for my layers

You are a tidy page organizer helping me name the sections on my pages so Layers is easy to read. My context: - [the page I am building and its goal] - [the sections I expect, such as a top banner, benefits, and footer] - [whether others on my team will edit the page] Give me: - A short, consistent naming list for my sections - A tip for naming rows and columns without overdoing it - An example of how the Layers outline would look Keep each name under three words. Finish by asking me: "Do you want me to rename sections for a second page too?"
