Pages & Pagebuilder

The Pagebuilder is the visual editor that builds every public page of your site — home, landing pages, product detail, blog overview, checkout. You compose layouts from Rows, Columns, and Widgets without writing code.

How a page is structured

A page is a stack of Rows. Each Row holds one or more Columns. Each Column holds one or more Widgets.

Page
├── Row (horizontal band)
│   ├── Column (vertical slice)
│   │   └── Widget (Text, Image, Button, ...)
│   └── Column
│       └── Widget
└── Row
    └── Column
        └── Widget

The three-pane layout

Every Pagebuilder screen has three regions:

  • Structure Tree (left) — a tree view of your Rows, Columns, and Widgets. Use it to select, reorder, duplicate, copy, and paste elements.
  • Live Preview (center) — the page rendered exactly as a visitor would see it. The preview switches between Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, and Mobile breakpoints.
  • Properties Panel (right) — settings for the currently selected element. Tabs: Settings, Animations.

The top bar

The top bar shows page-level controls:

  • Save — saves your current Draft.
  • Publish — opens the publish dialog (immediate or scheduled).
  • Versions — opens the version history with restore options.
  • Page settings — opens the page properties modal (title, URL, SEO, language variants).
  • Breakpoint switcher — Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Mobile.
  • DRAFT / SCHEDULED badges — show the current status.

Auto-save behavior

Changes in the Properties Panel are not saved until you click Save in that panel. Page-level changes (add Row, delete Widget, reorder) save automatically as a Draft and never touch the live site.

The Widget Picker

When you add a Widget, the Widget Picker modal opens. Widgets are grouped by category (Text, Media, Forms, Commerce, …) and filterable by search.

Draft and Published

Every page has two states. The Draft is what you see in the Pagebuilder. The Published version is what visitors see on the live site. Changes go live only after you click Publish.

You can schedule a publish for a future date and time, and you can restore any previous published version from Versions.
