- Delete with the bin on the row or Remove this section at the bottom of the right panel.
- The column icon on a row puts the section into a group (side-by-side multi-column layout).
Section settings
When you select a section (the preview shows “Selected: 1. Headline 3 — …”) its settings open on the right. Most sections have:

- Number of stories / Story limit: How many stories the section shows (each layout shows a recommended number).
- Category badge and Summary / Standfirst: Category tag on images and a summary under titles.
- Auto-advance time: In milliseconds for slider sections (e.g. 4500 = 4.5 seconds).
- Colors (Light / Dark): Panel/list background, card title color, category badge background and text, title hover color; each with opacity. Reset all returns to defaults.
