Add/Edit Content on a Page

The three basic building blocks Sections, Rows and Modules are used to build your page.

Adding a Section

Before you can add anything to your page, you will first need to add a section. Sections can be added by clicking the blue (+) button. When you hover over a section that already exists on the page, a blue (+) button will appear below it. When clicked, a new section will be added below the section you are currently hovered over.

If you are starting a brand new page, then your first section will be added automatically.

Adding a Row

After you have added your first section you can start adding rows of columns inside of it. A section can house any number of rows, and you can mix and match rows of varying column types to create a variety of layouts.

To add a row, click the green (+) button inside of any empty section, or click the green (+) button that appears when hovering over any current row to add a new row below it. Once you have clicked the green (+) button you will be greeted with a list of column types. Choose your desired column and then you are ready to add your first module.

Adding a Module

Modules can be added inside of rows, and each row can house any number of modules. Modules are the content elements of your page, and Divi comes with over 40 different elements that you can use to build with. You can use basic modules such as Text, Images and Buttons, or more advanced modules like Sliders, Portfolio Galleries and eCommerce Shops. We have individual tutorials for every single Divi module, so if you want to learn more about the types of modules that Divi provides then be sure to head back to the main document page and browse through the “Modules” section.

To add a module, click the gray (+) button that exists inside of any empty column or click the gray (+) button that exists when hovering over a module on the page to add a new Module below it. Once you have clicked the button, you will be greeted by a list of modules. Pick your desired module and it will be added to your page and the settings panel for the module will appear. Using this settings panel, you can begin configuring your module.

Configuring And Customizing Sections, Rows And Module

Each section, row and module can be customized in various ways. You can access an element’s settings panel by clicking the gear icon that exists when hovering over any element on the page.

This will launch the settings panel for the specified element. Each settings panel is broken up into three tabs: Content, Design, and Advanced. Each tab is designed to make accessing and adjusting Divi’s large variety of settings quick and easy. The Content tab of course is where you can add content such as images, video, links, and admin labels. The Design tab is where we’ve place all of the built-in design settings for each element. Depending on what you’re editing you can control a wide variety of design settings with a click; including: typography, spacing (padding/margin), button styles, and more. For an in-depth look at the Design tab, take a look at our design settings tutorial. Finally, if you want even more control you can head over to the Advanced tab where you can apply custom CSS, adjust visibility based on device, and (depending on which element you’re editing) do even more fine tuning.
