Fundamental Elements

Fundamentals provide containers, text, links, media, and code for agent-built layouts. Style them with selectors and CSS classes; regular Breakdance elements offer dedicated design controls.

Edit a Fundamental

Select it in Structure, change Content, and edit its selector for appearance. Shared classes affect every matching instance. Use Settings for conditions, interactions, animations, and attributes, then save.
