Table Panel

Use Table Panels when each child block belongs in a specific cell.


Add a Table Panel from the left sidebar. Children are assigned to table positions, which makes the layout explicit instead of flow-based.

Common Properties

Most blocks share a core set of properties. The right sidebar shows the properties available for the current selection, including controls added by the parent panel.

PropertyDetails
Templatable Size Control how much space the block takes up
Width

Controls the block's horizontal space. Use a fixed value for a predictable footprint, `%` when the width should respond to the canvas or parent panel, or auto sizing when content or layout should decide the width.

Height

Controls the block's vertical space. Height can be fixed, flexible, or constrained with minimum and maximum values when a block needs room to grow without getting too large or too small.

Aspect Ratio

Keeps width and height connected so a block can scale without stretching. This is useful for images, shapes, and blocks that need to preserve a specific proportion.

For units, auto sizing modes, min/max values, and responsive sizing patterns, see the Sizing and Positioning guide.

Auto size to grid cell

Blocks inside a Table Panel can use Auto size to grid cell. When enabled, the child sizes to the cell area. Turn it off when the child should keep its own width or height.

Arrange Place and manage the block in its layout
X and Y

Set the block's position on the canvas or inside a Free Panel. X controls horizontal placement; Y controls vertical placement. Positions can use fixed units or `%` values with anchors.

Alignment

Move a block to common canvas positions, or use anchors to decide how the block lines up to a percent-based X or Y value.

Rotation and Flip

Rotate the block or flip it horizontally or vertically without changing the block's content.

Lock and Layer Order

Lock a block to avoid accidental edits, or move it forward and backward when blocks overlap.

For anchoring, percent positions, panel behavior, and layer order, see the Sizing and Positioning guide.

Templatable Background Style the surface behind the block’s content
Solid

Assign a single color as the background of the block.

Can be templated
  • Color
Gradient

Use a linear, radial, or conic gradient. Gradients are built from stops, and each stop has a color and a position. Stops are ordered by position, so moving a stop changes how the colors blend across the block.

Can be templated
  • Stop colors
  • Stop positions

Linear and conic gradients also include an angle control.

Pattern

Choose a pattern, then customize the colors it exposes. Some patterns also include a size control. Different patterns use different numbers of colors, so the available controls change after you choose a pattern.

Can be templated
  • Pattern colors
  • Pattern size

Patterns are sourced from css-pattern.com.

Canvas backgrounds

Canvas and block backgrounds are separate. A transparent block can show the canvas background or the parent panel behind it.

Border Define the block’s edge and corners

Border controls are split into simple and advanced modes.

Simple

Use simple border controls when the same color, thickness, line style, and corner radius should apply everywhere.

Advanced

Open Advanced Border to edit sides and corners separately. Sides can have their own color, thickness, and line style. Corners can have their own radius.

Shadow Layer shadows to add depth to your blocks

Shadows can be layered. Use a regular shadow for depth, an inner shadow for inset effects, or a glow when the shadow should spread evenly around the block.

Block Specific Properties

PropertyDetails
Padding Space between the panel edge and its children

Padding creates space inside the block’s edge before content is laid out.

Simple

Use one value when every side should have the same inset.

Advanced

Open Advanced Padding to set top, right, bottom, and left independently.

Panel spacing

Panel padding is separate from gap and child margin. Padding creates space inside the panel edge; gap and child margin control spacing between child blocks.

Columns Number and sizing of columns

In a Table Panel, individual children have assigned table positions and can cover more than one row or column. In a Grid Panel, children flow in order instead of being assigned to exact cells.

Rows Number and sizing of rows
Column gap Space between columns
Row gap Space between rows
Cell alignment Default alignment for blocks inside cells

Child Properties

When a block is inside a Table Panel, extra properties become available for how that block sits inside the panel and relates to the other children. Select the child block to edit these properties.

PropertyDetails
Position Assigned column and row for the child
Columns How many table columns the child covers
Rows How many table rows the child covers
Horizontal align Horizontal alignment override for this child
Vertical align Vertical alignment override for this child
Margin Extra space around this child inside the table cell
Auto size to grid cell Whether the child sizes to the cell area

Blocks inside table cells can use margin to create spacing within the cell without changing the whole table.

Grid Tracks

Grid and Table Panels are built from tracks: columns and rows. Tracks can have their own size and background.

Selecting Tracks

Hover a column or row on the canvas and click its track selector to edit that track. The right sidebar switches to the selected column or row and shows track-specific controls.

When the panel itself is selected, the right sidebar also includes a collapsible Rows/Columns item. Open it to select a row or column without using the canvas hover target.

Track Size

Use track size to control how much space a row or column receives inside the panel.

  • Defined uses a value with fr, %, or px units.
  • Auto lets the track size itself from its contents.
  • Min Content sizes the track to the smallest content-based size it can use.
  • Max Content sizes the track around its largest content-based size.
Track Background

Track backgrounds apply to the selected row or column. Use them for bands, separators, highlighted columns, or table-like layouts.

A child block's own background is drawn above the track background. Transparent blocks let the track background show through.

See the Advanced Panels guide for help choosing and combining panel types.

Templated Content

Many properties can use Variables to assign their value when each image is created.

Variables can be required, ignored, or given a fallback value. When you render the template, pass values with template_values.
