1. Access the Pages Section

In this example, let’s examine the pages created for your brand’s website. Scroll down to the section labeled "Web" and click on "Pages."

2. Understand Built-In and Custom Pages

The pages screen is divided into two sections. At the top is "Built-in pages," which includes pages that must be available by default, such as your Homepage and specific pages related to guest login. The second section is labeled "Other Pages," encompassing all your content marketing pages, legal pages, and any additional pages necessary for your brand. Now, let’s take a closer look at the Homepage. Click on "Home" in the Built-in Pages area.

3. Expand a Content Block

In this example, you will observe that the homepage includes three distinct layouts: a Hero Slideshow, a Featured Items Layout, and a Gift Card Promo Layout. To access the content and settings of a specific layout, click on the down icon associated with the layout you wish to edit. Now, let’s expand the Hero / Slide show layout.

Once the layout section is expanded, we can start editing its pre-configured options. In this example, you will notice that two slides have been added to the carousel. Let's open Slide 1 by clicking on the Down arrow to review the content options.

6. Collapse a Content Block

Once you have completed your content review, you can collapse the content block to simplify your view and focus on other elements of the page while editing. Let’s collapse Slide 1 by clicking the up arrow.

10. Layouts, Re-Order and Preview

All your layout sections will consistently appear on the left-hand side, accompanied by a preview of each layout's content on the right. To reorder any of your layout sections, simply drag a section to your desired position. For instance, you can take this gift card layout at the bottom and move it below the Hero.
