Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why can’t I add a section to my header or footer?
It is not possible to add sections to your header or footer. Sections can only be added to the main content area of your Page. To learn how to customize these areas, visit Page settings.
Q: How do I move sections?
Sections can be moved within the content area of the navigation tab where they was added. To learn more, visit Move a content section.
Q: How will my sections look on a mobile device?
