Add Site.com Page Elements

Page elements are the building blocks of your site pages and page templates. Panel elements add structure to your pages. You can think of both pages and panels as “containers” for the page elements that you add to them.

If a site page or page template is based on another page template, you can only add page elements to editable panels, which are highlighted with a blue border on the page.

Pages, panels, data repeaters, and forms are “container” page elements, so you can add other page elements to them when the page is open.

  • In the Page Elements pane (Page Elements), either:
    • Drag the page element onto the page canvas or container page element.
    • Click the page element, select where to place it in the popup that appears, and click Apply.
  • In the Page Structure pane (Page Structure), hover over a container page element and click Actions | Add Page Elements. Click the item you want to add or drag it onto the container page element.
  • Select a container page element on the page and click Actions | Add Page Elements. Click the item you want to add or drag it into the container page element.

When you drag a page element into an editable panel, the page element displays a permitted icon and a green border shows where you're placing the element.

Permitted icon

If you try dragging a page element into a panel that isn't editable, the page element displays a not-permitted icon.
