Page Panels

Page panels are a way of adding additional content to a page within a website. Unlike Page blocks added straight to the page, page panels span the full width of the page.

These page panels can have colours or image-based backgrounds and have a number of predefined layouts that can be selected. Click Here to see examples.

Page Blocks can also be added to Page Panels to add further content layout options by using Page Components.

Changing the order of Page Blocks

If you have multiple Page Blocks on a page, you can re-order them to display in the order you wish. To do this, simply locate the blocks in the edit tree, then click, hold and drag them up and down to change their order. Please note that the CMS lists blocks in reverse order - meaning the block at the bottom will be the first shown on the page. Once you have re-ordered the blocks, you need to Publish the site in order for any changes to appear.
