What Is the Page Builder?
The Page Builder is an editing tool in the Velsoft LMS that allows you to drag and drop content on a page of an eLearning course. Alongside the Page Editor, the Page Builder gives you the ability to edit and customize your eLearning courses to meet your needs.
In a similar way to many slideshow editing programs, content in the Page Builder is not restricted to any single grid or column. A wide range of content can be freely moved around the page and positioned in exactly the way you want.

To access the Page Builder, start by opening the Page Editor in the Velsoft LMS. Begin by clicking Courses, then My Courses from the sidebar menu:
Then click the dropdown next to the course you want to edit, and click Edit Course:

Parts of the Page Builder Interface
The Page Builder is comprised of a main editing area with a number of toolbars and panels to add and edit content.
The main area (1) displays the page you are currently editing. This is where you can view, add, and edit content, and preview the changes you are making.
Content can be added to the page using the top-right toolbar (2).
The side panel (3) is used to format content that has already been added to the page.
The bottom toolbar (4) is used for actions including publishing, previewing, cloning or adding pages. You can also navigate back to the Page Editor using this toolbar.
Page Structure in the Page Builder
Pages that are edited in the Page Builder are organized into sections and blocks.
A section is the area in which you can add content. It acts as a background behind a page’s content. A single section can contain any number of blocks of content, and multiple sections can be added, arranged vertically.
A block contains one or more pieces of content. This could include text, images, media, etc. Blocks can be positioned within a section by dragging and dropping.
