Introducing Strikingly 6 - Editing sections by drag & drop!

You now have much more control over your section layouts using our Drag & Drop feature for Section Layouts. This feature is available for all users, including free users.

 

There are two ways to enter Drag & Drop mode: Add a "Make Your Own" section to build it from scratch, or enter Drag & Drop mode in an existing section.

 

 

1. Add the "Make Your Own" Section

In the editor, click "Add New Section" in the left menu to add a new section. You can select the "Make Your Own Section" at the bottom, under "Advanced".

2. Enter Drag & Drop Mode from Layout Options

In certain sections, in the top-right corner, you can open Layout Options and then click "Drag & Drop". Note: This won't apply to some more advanced sections like Store, Blog, or Slider. But most of the  text/image/video sections will support this.

Move Element / Create New Columns

  • Move your cursor to the light blue border that surrounds an element until you see the "grab" hand cursor. Then you can drag the element around.
  • If you drag the element to the left and right, you can make new columns in this layout!
