Understanding Sections, Rows, and Elements:

Sections: The largest building block. Sections contain rows and elements. You can choose full width, wide, or small sections depending on your design needs.
Rows: Rows sit within sections and determine the layout structure, such as a single column, two columns, or more. Drag a row into a section to start adding elements.
Elements: These are the individual pieces like headlines, images, buttons, forms, etc. Drag and drop elements into rows to build the content of your page.

Customizing Elements:

Text Elements: Drag a headline element into a row, click on it to edit text, and use the side panel to adjust font size, color, alignment, and other styling options.
Images: Drag an image element, upload or select an image from your media library, and adjust the size, alignment, and margin settings.
Buttons: Add a call-to-action button, set the button text, link it to the next funnel step or a specific URL, and customize the color, size, and style.

TIPUse the gear icon in the side panel to access advanced settings like background colors, borders, and padding.

Link and Arrange Your Funnel Pages:

Add More Steps: If your funnel requires multiple pages, click Add New Step and choose the type of page you want to add (e.g., opt-in page, thank you page).
Arrange the Sequence: In the funnel steps section, drag and drop pages to rearrange them in the desired order.

EXAMPLEA typical order might be Landing Page → Opt-In Page → Thank You Page.
