Improving the Container UI
Elementor 3.7 includes a number of improvements to the container UI.
Status of the Container feature
The new Flexbox Container feature remains an experiment. We’re still collecting feedback and the usability is in continuous development.
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.
