Elementor Introduces Navigator For Easy Layout Management
Soon after the WooCommerce Builder, the Elementor team announced yet another new feature. Meet Navigator, a new tool for managing your entire page layout from one single place. It can improve the workflow of the WordPress page builder a lot.
Navigator
Basically, itโs a new panel that gives you an overview of your entire page in a condensed display. That comes in quite handy especially when dealing with long pages. You can switch between sections, columns, and widgets and easily move them around the page.
In addition, you can customize element names, use the Copy, Paste & Delete functionality and choose to hide elements from the editing screen to get more focus when you design. Note that hidden elements are still visible on page previews.
The Navigator can be customized in terms of height and width and can either be dragged anywhere on the page or pinned to the side of your screen. Also, its preferences are saved to your browser, so the position remains the same even for new pages.
Other New Features
Apart from this, Elementor implemented several other new features.
- Autocomplete URLs for internal linking
- Option to show editing handles when hovering over element edit buttons
- Debug Bar helps to understand why a template or theme file is loading, or whether they conflict with each other
- Columns widget renamed to Inner Section widget
Pricing, Support & Updates
The Elementor page builder can be downloaded for free, but comes with limited features. Elementor Pro plans are available from as low as $49 for one site.
Upon purchase you will receive one year of free updates and support. Also, they provide a 30 day money-back guarantee.
Side note: The new Envato Elements – Template Kits plugin gets you access to hundreds of free professional Elementor templates suitable for all kinds of niches. Available for free on the WordPress plugin repository.
