Element Settings

Every element in Builderius is controlled through two tabs that appear in the sidebar when you select an element: Content and Style. The Content tab handles what goes inside your element and how it behaves, while the Style tab controls how it looks and is positioned. This separation almost completely mirrors the separation to HTML and CSS.

This separation keeps related settings organized and prevents the interface from becoming overwhelming - you can focus on structure first, then styling, or switch between them as needed.

Content Tab​

The content area shown above shows controls that exist in all elements except the non-container elements. For elements that have unique features beyond these universal controls, those specialized settings are covered in their individual articles.

Element name (1): Click to rename your element for better organization (like "Card Wrapper" or "Hero Section"). This doesn't affect the HTML - it's just for your reference in the builder.

Conditions (2): Opens conditions builder to set conditional rendering based on various criteria.
