Block appearance and visibility

Every block shares a set of settings in the panel's Block options (spacing, visibility, schedule): colours, size and spacing, image frames, a background photo, visibility per device, display per language, an anchor ID and a schedule. So a block can, for example, show only on mobile, only in one language or only for a period.

Select the block and open Block options in the panel.

Colours

Background, Text and Accent colour, each Default, Dark or Custom. The defaults follow the site's palette.

Size and spacing

  • Content width: Reading (one column of text), Wide, Full.
  • Width: Column, Full width (the background reaches the screen edge), Edge to edge (the content too).
  • Spacing below: none, tight, default, spacious; Inside the band; and, as an advanced option, Padding per side.

Image frames, background photo and edge

  • Image frames: Corners and Shadow for the block's images; by default as set in Settings → Brand → Background and images.
  • Background photo & edge: a background photo with a Wash (light or dark), and a Bottom edge: straight, Wave or Arc. The edge only shows on a block with a background colour or photo, and replaces the bottom spacing.

Visibility

All devices, Mobile only, Desktop only or Hidden (visitors do not see it, but it stays in the editor).

Languages

Under Languages you can switch the block off in some languages. For different content per language, add one block per language and hide each in the other language.

Anchor ID

With a name (for example contact) you can link to the block: #contact, or from another page /page#contact. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens and underscores are allowed, and it may not start with a digit.

Schedule

  • Date window (from – until): the block only shows in that period – for example during a sale.
  • Hour of day: for example 9 to 18 for daytime only; 22 to 6 runs overnight.

Any restriction you set shows as a label next to the block in the editor (for example Mobile only).
