Layout Manager

Introduction

The Layout Manager in Advantage is a robust tool equipped with three tabs for configuring various elements of your website’s structure, each designed for specific functionalities.

 

 

Layouts: This tab allows for the addition or importation of different layouts, toggling their active status, and editing them with ease. You can also duplicate any layout using the copy function.

Layout Builder: Adding a new layout is intuitive with the Layout Builder, where you can craft a custom layout by dragging and dropping the Container and Row widgets into the work area, designing your page structure visually.

Containers: In the Containers tab, you can create a new container by naming it and specifying the Tag Name, along with any CSS Classes and Inline Styles you require. Save your updates to make the container available for use on your site.

Zones: To establish Zones, you’ll start by creating a zone container. Simply fill in the necessary fields, then save your updates. These Zones will then be ready to organize and display content on your pages as designated areas within the layout.
