Improving the Container UI
Elementor 3.7 includes a number of improvements to the container UI.
UI Changes in the Container
The following changes are being made to the container UI.
- The Layout tab is no longer divided into Container and Items sections. The Container’s dimension and Items settings are all now located in the Container section.
- The Overflow and HTML tag properties are now located under Additional Options in the Layout tab.
- The Justify Content and Align Items properties have been reversed in the editor to better represent the standard Flex CSS hierarchy.
