Text

Text displays a short block of text. Use it for a paragraph, introduction, or label; use Heading for a semantic heading and Rich Text for content with multiple formatted paragraphs and lists.

Add and configure Text

  1. Click Add, choose Text, and place it in the container.
  2. Replace Content > Content > Text with your copy.
  3. Set Design > Size to control its width, then configure Typography and Spacing.
  4. Save your changes.

This element has no children; use its own controls.

Controls

Responsive varies by breakpoint; Hover has a hover value; Shared applies across both. Linked controls have their own reference. In conditions, = means “is” and ≠ means “is not.”

The paragraph is too wide

I need a list or several formatted sections

Use Rich Text for formatted content, or separate elements when each block needs independent placement.
