Advanced Options

A huge amount of configuration is available with Layout Builder components using the contributed Layout Builder Blocks module, which is included with the distribution. In addition to those configuration options, we provide an extra layer of “Y Styles” that help site builders customize their sites in an accessible and brand-compliant manner.

Y Styles

These options provide customizations of Layout Builder-enabled pages at the Content Type, Page, and Component(/Block) level.

Styles inherit from content types, to pages, to components. Some styles can also be overridden at each level - block styles can override page styles, which can override content type styles.

Section styles

When creating or editing a Section you have the option of configuring Layout, Style, and Settings.

Support for these options is a work in progress and may require involvement of your development partner. Feel free to experiment with the options. Be sure to follow proper brand guidelines and accessibility practices.

Layout styles

In this section you can control the container of the Section.

• Container type
  • Boxed: Section is narrower than the header of the page. Good for text-heavy layouts.
  • Full: Section extends to the edges of the main content container.
  • Edge to Edge: Section extends to the edges of the page. Good for full-width components like Banners and Ping-Pong blocks.
• Gutters
  • With Gutters: Section has left and right padding. Good for most non-full-width containers.
  • Without Gutters: Section has no left and right padding. Best for Edge to Edge containers.

Block styles

When creating or configuring a block you have the option of opening the Style tab to access additional style options including:

• background,
• typography,
• spacing,
• borders, and
• animation.

Support for these options is a work in progress and may require involvement of your development partner. Feel free to experiment with the options. Be sure to follow proper brand guidelines and accessibility practices.

After you have completed setting the Style options, click back to Content and Save or Update to commit your changes.
