Elementor uses three main building blocks: Sections, Columns, and Widgets.

Sections are the largest building blocks, and inside them are groups of Columns. Columns sit inside of Sections and are used to house the Widgets. Widgets are placed inside Columns.

To select and manage each block you will need to click on the object’s Handle to activate it.

When a Handle is selected, you can right-click on it to edit, duplicate, copy, save as a template or delete the block.

  1. Click the ‘+’ icon to create a Section, or click the ‘folder’ icon to use a pre-designed Page or Block from the template library
  2. Set your Column structure

  4. Use the Section Handle to add, drag, or delete a section
