Sections are the foundation of how you structure and present content in your guidelines. They allow you to build flexible layouts and organize information in a clear and scalable way.
With recent improvements to the editing experience, restructuring your content is now more intuitive, stable, and efficient.
Why use sections?
Guidelines are constantly evolving. Sections give you the flexibility to adapt your pages without rebuilding them from scratch.
Use sections to:
Organize complex content into clear, structured layouts
Adapt and restructure pages quickly as your content changes
Create engaging and easy-to-navigate experiences
Maintain consistency while staying flexible
What you can do with sections
With sections, you can:
Build dynamic layouts with full flexibility
Organize content to improve clarity and engagement
Customize your portal to reflect your brand
Add background styles (beta) to enhance visual design
Move content across sections to restructure pages
You can also use tabs to group content into nested sections. Each tab acts as a subsection, helping keep your pages clean and easy to navigate.
Design your layout with columns
Click into a section to start editing.
Use columns to define your layout, adjust the number of columns, their ratios, and overall structure to match your needs.
This allows you to create layouts that support your content, not constrain it.
Add content blocks to your pages
Use the “add block” button to insert content anywhere on your page.
The improved insert experience ensures consistent placement and reduces visual distractions while editing.
Choose from a variety of block types (text, images, video, and more) to create rich, engaging content.
Structure your content with headings
Add headings within sections to organize your content and guide readers through the page. Headings help create clear hierarchy and improve readability and navigation.
Drag and drop flexibility
Move content blocks exactly where you need them.
You are no longer limited to moving blocks within a single section. Blocks can now be dragged and dropped across sections, making page restructuring faster and more intuitive.
Combined with smoother interactions and reduced visual flickering, editing feels more stable and predictable as you reorganize content.
Copy and reuse content
Copy and paste content blocks within or across guidelines to save time and maintain consistency.
Select a block, copy it, and paste it wherever needed. You can reuse the same block multiple times across different pages.
Note:
Sections cannot be copied as a whole
Blocks must be copied individually
What makes sections powerful?
Flexible structure: build and adapt layouts without constraints
Cross-section editing: reorganize content freely across your page
Stable editing experience: fewer visual disruptions
Scalable content management: maintain clarity as pages grow
Bring your brand to life
Sections give you the structure and flexibility to create guidelines that are not only visually compelling, but also easy to maintain and evolve over time.
