Table of contents
Page Builder (aka Beaver Builder) is the drag and drop plugin incorporated into our WordPress theme.
Page Builder allows site admins and editors to build pages by dragging pre-built rows and modules.
Rows are generally a collection of different types of content that occupy a full width row on a page.
Modules are things like buttons, paragraphs, images, headers, videos. Basically all of the content you can add to a row.
