Use the Divider content type to add a rule as a visual break between sections of content in the Page Builder stage. You can specify the line color, thickness, and width of the divider. You can also control the alignment, set the margins and padding, and format of the container border. By default, the divider is a hairline rule that extends the full width of the container, with allowance for padding.

Default divider in a container without a border {width="500" modal="regular"}

Although most divider containers are invisible, the following example displays the container with a red dashed border so you can see the relationship between the divider, the padding, and the container. You can adjust the padding at the top and bottom of the divider to control the spacing between elements.

Add a divider

  1. In the Page Builder panel, expand Elements and drag a Divider placeholder to a row, column, or tab set on the stage.

    Use the red guideline for reference as you position the divider either before or after another content container on the stage.

    In the following example, the divider marks the beginning of a new section of text.

    • To control the positioning of the divider within the parent container, choose the Alignment:

      Center Aligns the list in the center of the parent container, with allowance for any padding that is specified.
      Right Aligns the block along the right border of the parent container, with allowance for any padding that is specified.

      In the following example, the options are set to use a center alignment for the divider.

    • Set the Border style applied to all four sides of the divider container:

      table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 3-row-2 4-row-2 5-row-2 6-row-2 7-row-2 8-row-2 9-row-2 10-row-2 layout-auto
      Option Description

      Option Description
      Border Color Specify the color by choosing a swatch, clicking the color picker, or by entering a valid color name or equivalent hexadecimal value.
      Border Width Enter the number of pixels for the border line width.
      Border Radius Enter the number of pixels to define the size of the radius that is used to round each corner of the border.

    • (Optional) Specify the names of CSS classes from the current style sheet to apply to the container.

      Separate multiple class names with a space.

    • Enter values, in pixels, for the Margins and Padding to determine the outer margins and inner padding of the divider container.

Duplicate a divider

For a formatted divider with specific settings, it is more efficient to make a duplicate, rather than start over with a new placeholder.

  1. Hover over the divider container to display the toolbox and choose the Duplicate ( Duplicate icon {width="20"} ) icon.

    The duplicate divider container appears just below the original.

    Duplicated divider {width="500" modal="regular"}

  2. Hover over the new divider container to display the toolbox and choose the Move ( Move icon {width="20"} ) icon.

    Moving a divider {width="500" modal="regular"}

  3. Select and drag the divider until the red guideline marks the new position.

    The top and bottom borders of each container appear as dashed lines while the divider is moved.

    Moving the duplicated divider into position {width="500" modal="regular"}
