Grid Editor

The Grid Editor panel allows you to visually edit & design your columns block layout.

You are freely building the complete layout of your columns block. You can add or remove blocks, move blocks around freely and adjust Height, Row Gap and Column Gap.

When you add or remove blocks, you are adding or removing actual blocks and not just placeholders compared to when Auto Grid is selected.

  • Select a Columns block.

  • In the Primary tab of the Block Inspector, open the Grid Editor.

The Add Block property allows you to add a block.

Fractions

Adding fractions leaves potential space in case you want to add more modules or stretch modules to make uneven columns that will be duplicated in subsequent rows. Adding fractions will allow you to add more modules to your row.

This is only potential space because the auto grid system will base the grid layout on the module skeleton.

  • Select a Columns block.

  • In the Primary tab of the Block Inspector, open the Grid Editor.

  • Adjust the number of fractions as required.
