Divi includes several different modules for you to use when building pages. View the complete list of Divi modules available.

To Add New Content:

1. Hover over a section, click the green "+" button, and choose a row type (eg. one column, two column, etc.).
2. Hover over a row, click the gray “+” button, and choose a module type (eg. Text, Image, Button, etc.).
   
3. Fill in the content and click the green checkmark to save.
   

To Edit Existing Content:

2. Click the gear icon to open the settings.

Adding a Featured Image

The featured image for a page is the image that appears across the top of the page. To add a featured image:

1. Within the Divi Builder, click the purple circle at the bottom of the screen to open the Divi menu.
   
2. Click the purple gear icon to open the page settings.
3. Click the Add Image button under the Featured Image section.
4. Upload a new image or select one from the Media Library.
   1. Be sure to add alt text for accessibility.
   2. Use high-quality, horizontal images for best results. Since this image is stretched the full width of the screen and cropped on the top and bottom, make sure your desired focal point is in the vertically centered part of the image.

Saving and Publishing Your Page

1. Click the purple circle at the bottom of the screen to open the Divi menu.
   
2. Click Save Draft if you’re not ready to publish. Click Publish when your page is ready to go live.

4. Click the Save button at the bottom when finished.

Deleting a Page
