Introducing Drag and Drop Builder (Beta)

We are proud to introduce the beta version of our new drag-n-drop builder. You can now use it to fully customize your widget and add custom elements that you need. In this article, we make a quick overview on how to use this new builder.

How It Works

Getting Started

When customizing your widget add the “2” to the URL in the way, that “/update/” becomes “/update2/”. This will open the drag-and-drop builder.

Layout

Every widget you create consist of the grid, formed by rows and columns. By pressing the “Layout” at the top you can manage this grid:

You may:

• Add and delete columns and rows.
• Change their sizes by moving the column separator element.
• Swap columns simply dragging them in the side panel.

Elements

The widget itself consists of elements inside the grid (layout). Press the “Elements” at the top to add those elements by dragging them and dropping on the widget’s preview:

You may move elements inside the preview the same way: simply drag and drop.

Note, that each type of elements has its own settings. Click the element and you will be able to customize these settings in the left panel:

You can also customize the background image and overall widget size. Just hover your mouse over the edge of the widget. Once you see the selection pointer on a preview saying “Widget” – click it.

Settings

Inside the “Settings” section you’ll find integration settings, custom CSS, and behavior settings. You are already familiar with those, we just moved them to another section.

Other Controls

You are already familiar with other controls. You may switch the desktop/mobile version, save changes and activate the widget. You can find these controls at the top right corner.

We encourage you to play with the new builder and all the increased customization. Create the perfect widget, that meets your website design and needs.
