Custom settings:

• Publish / expiry date – this feature allows you to set the time and date when the section will be published or when it will expire (meaning it will no longer be visible). You can find the video tutorial in the following section.
• Element ID – can be used to apply new CSS for that one specific element, or to create anchor links. More info in the section below.
• Extra Class Name(s) – here you can add existing class to apply its CSS to the section, or create new class with different CSS. More info in the section below.
• Inline style – this field is used for inline CSS that will apply to the section.

Once you add a section, place your mouse pointer over top area to show toolbar. Click ‘+’ to add a Row which is another basic content element.

Bold Builder allows you to set the row width independently from section’s width. In General Settings of Row element, you can select desired row width.

With this option you can box content in individual rows even if the section is set to wide. You can either box both columns, or select boxed left or right.

Note that this feature works best if section is set to wide, and there are two columns in a row.

Here are examples of each option:

1. Boxed 1200px

2. Boxed left 1200px

3. Boxed left 1200px, wide content

4. Boxed right 1200px

5. Boxed right 1200px, wide content

6. Boxed left and right 1200px

7. Boxed left and right 1200px, wide content

Once you’ve added Row element, click ‘+’ in Row toolbar to add columns.
From Select Layout dialog you need to pick wanted layout of columns, e.g. 1/2+1/2 will add two columns with same width.

**Starting from the Bold Builder version 3.0.0, you can set different number of columns on each device (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile).

Row element is based on Bootstrap’s 12 column grid, and you can have 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 12 columns in a row.

**5 columns feature was added from 3.0.0 version of Bold Builder.

Once you select the number of columns, you can set their width as well.

For example, the following row has two columns where left column is 3/4, and right one is 1/4.

Two new features are added to Column element from the version 3.0.0.
Column alignment on mobile allows you to set different alignment depending on a device. For example, you can have column aligned left on desktop and laptop, and then center align it on tablet and mobile.

Second feature is column order which allows you to change order of the columns on different devices.

The following video explains how to add Row, Columns, and shortcodes.

To edit content element properties, click Edit icon from element toolbar. You will see Edit dialog with various options, depending on which shortcode you are editing:

All sections, rows, columns or elements can be copied and pasted on pages.

In order to see edit options for the Section element, hover over the section number (top left corner). Here is the breakdown of available options.

1. Edit – clicking on this button will open front-end editor for the Section element. Please note that not all edit options are available in the front-end editor.
2. Edit in the back-end editor – click on this option if you want to edit in the back-end editor. Note that if you hover over this button, you will see an option to open back-end editor in a new tab.
3. Cut – click on this option if you want to cut the section from one page and paste it elsewhere.
4. Copy – this option allows you to copy the section from one page to the other, or to different part on the same page.
5. Paste – click on this button will paste previously cut / copied section(s) below this section. Note that if you hover over this button, you will see an option to paste section(s) above the current section.
6. Delete – by clicking on this option you will delete entire section and its content.

Element ID

It can be used to apply new CSS for that one specific element, or to create anchor links.
If you want to apply CSS, add desired ID to the field, for example ‘myID’. Then add CSS code to Additional CSS field in Customize panel. For example:

#myID {
    color: #fff;
}

To create anchor links navigate to the Bold Page Builder and edit desired section. Insert in Custom Tab Element ID attribute:

Then in Appearance > Menus add a new Custom Link and as a URL insert custom ID atribute with #.

For example: #about

Extra Class Name(s)

Here you can add existing class to apply its CSS to the section, or create new class with different CSS. If you want to apply custom CSS, add desired class name to the field, for example ‘myClass’. Then add CSS code to Additional CSS field in Customize panel. For example:

.myClass {
   color: #000;
}

First thing you need to do in order for the color schemes to work is to define Accent and Alternate color. This is done in Settings >Bold Builder on your dashboard.

Then you can select desired color scheme within element, in Design tab.

*example from section

Here is a breakdown of what each color scheme does:

• Light: Black/White – background will be white and text will be black.
• Dark: White/Black – background will be black and text will be white.
• Accent/Black – background will be black and text will be accent color.
• Black/Accent – background will be accent color and text will be black.
• Accent/White – background will be white and text will be accent color.
• Black/Alternate – background will be alternate color and text will be black.

*Note that when section has background image or custom background color, color defined as background color within color scheme will not display.

The above examples refer to section, row, and column elements.

If the color scheme is defined in, for example, Headline element, it will affect superheadline, headline, and subheadline text. Subheadline and Headline will be first color of color scheme, and superheadline will be second color of color scheme.

In case of Button element, first color in color scheme will be the color of text, and second one will be background color.

In order to export the section you created from one page / site, and import it to another one, please follow these steps:

2. Then, click on the two arrows at the bottom of the screen.

3. On the pop up that appears, click export, and copy the symbols that appear.
