Folder listing page design

The Folder lets you create a collection of your pages as a listing page or as a dropdown.

Think of a Folder as a container that holds multiple menu items and shows them in a visual layout (grids, slideshows, vertical or horizontal scrolls, and many more layouts).

See a demo Folder.

Once you have created a folder, you can manage its design as shown below.


Manage folder style:

  • Enter the folder title (1) in the Search Bar.
  • Click on the folder (2) under Site Menu Items. 

  • This will take you to the folder settings page, click on the Design tab to open the Folder Design drawer.
