Flexible Content renders layouts from a flexible-content field using configured blocks. Use it when structured field layouts determine which content sections appear.
Add and configure Flexible Content
- Click Add, choose Flexible Content, and place it in the container.
- Choose Content > Field > Flexible Content Field and configure Tag, Item Title, and Advanced options.
- Configure Content > Blocks > Blocks for the field's layouts.
- Review Advanced > Raw Mode, then style List, Item, Container, and Spacing.
- Save your changes.
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.”

Troubleshooting
One layout produces no content
Check its Blocks mapping and the field's saved layout name.
The field is empty in the template
Check the selected preview item and the flexible-content field assigned to it.
