# Work with sections

Select sections and parts, right-click for quick actions, and move things without breaking the page.

For: Everyone editing a page

## Select a section, or a part of one

A page is built from sections, each one a block such as a hero, a row of prices or a contact form. Click a section to select it: a violet outline and corner handles appear, and the inspector shows its settings.

Alt+Click selects a part of a section rather than the whole thing, for example one card in a row of three. Parts can be styled and hidden individually, which is often quicker than adding a new section.

Walkthrough: Selecting a section, then a part of it (The website editor)

1. **Click to select**: A violet outline and corner handles appear, and the inspector fills with that section's settings.
2. **Then click the text**: With the section selected, click its text and type over it. Alt+Click selects a part, such as one card in a row.

1. Click once to select a section.
2. Alt+Click to select a part inside it.
3. Press Escape to deselect.

## Right-click for quick actions

Right-clicking a selected section opens the actions menu where your pointer is: edit this text, duplicate, move or add, change its look, rewrite with AI, show on (phones, tablets or computers only), save to reuse, and delete.

On a part, the menu narrows to what makes sense there: style this part, hide this part, move this item earlier or later. Duplicate also has a keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+D, and Paste below puts a copied section back under the one you have selected.

Walkthrough: The right-click menu, action by action (Right-clicking a section)

1. **Edit this text**: Straight into the words under your pointer, without hunting through the inspector.
2. **Duplicate**: A copy keeps every field and its styling. Ctrl+D does the same.
3. **Move or add**: Move up, Move down, Add a section above, Add a section below: the four arrangements that cover most days.
4. **Delete section**: Del works too, and undo catches the mistake during the session.

1. Right-click a section and duplicate it.
2. Move the copy down with Move or add.
3. Delete it again with Del or the menu.

Note: Hiding a section on phones only is a common trick: a wide table can stay on computers while phones see a simpler version.

## Move things safely

The Navigator panel lists every section on the page in order, with drag handles. Dragging is the calm way to reorder, because you can see the list change as you go. Each section also has Move up and Move down in the inspector.

The fixed rows at the top of the Navigator, the announcement bar, the bar above the header, the header and the footer, belong to every page. Editing one of those changes it everywhere, which is the point: one header, one footer, no exceptions.

Walkthrough: Reordering from the Navigator (The Navigator)

1. **The page in order**: Every section, top to bottom, with drag handles. Dragging here is the calm way to reorder.
2. **Add where you meant**: Add a section appears at the end of the list; move it up afterwards or select the upper neighbour first.
3. **The fixed rows**: Announcement bar, header and footer belong to every page. Editing one changes it everywhere, which is the point.

Warning: Deleting a section removes its content. Undo brings it back during the session, but a published page will not remember it after you publish again.

## How do I select something inside a section?

Alt+Click. Then the inspector and the right-click menu talk about the part rather than the whole section.

## Can I reuse a section on another page?

Yes. Save it to reuse, or share it to the Pattern Book, then add it from the Add panel on any page.
