Rearrange Class priority

The order in which the classes appear in the Class Manager determines their priority. Classes that are higher up in the priority list take precedence over those further down. For example, if you have am element that contains two classes –Main_txt which sets the font size to 16PX and Other_txt which sets the font size to 12PX, if Main_txt is above Other_txt, the font size is 16 PX and vice versa. 

To rearrange the class priority

  1. Open the Class Manager.
  2. Hover over the class you want to move in the list.

  3. Click and hold the handle to the left of the class name. 
  4. Drag the class to reorder it.
    In the example below, the Heading element has two classes – ElementBackground and ContainerBackground, each with their own background color. Changing their order in the Class Manager, changes which color takes priority.
