Shared settings

These settings are common to several sections and work the same way wherever they appear. Once you learn how they work in one place, you'll recognize them elsewhere.

Prelude

Use Prelude content to introduce your section. These settings allow you to add a heading, supporting text, and optional call-to-action buttons to introduce the section. Some sections may hide button settings if they aren’t relevant to the layout.

SettingDescription
AlignmentSet the horizontal alignment of the prelude content.
Heading + Associated settingsCustomize the section heading. Choose between your theme’s body or heading font, adjust the font size, and optionally display the text in all caps for extra emphasis.
Text + Associated settingsCustomize the text, and size of your text to match your design.
Button + Associated settingsCustomize the button label, add a button link, adjust the button size, and pick the button style.
