Nested flex contexts, total control<\/h2><\/div>\n

Module groups inside rows create independent flex containers. Set direction, gap, and display order inside the card without touching the outer row. Each context responds to its own breakpoint overrides.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Logical source order<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Reusable library items<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Save tested flex rows (cards, CTAs) to the library so spacing and breakpoint logic doesn't get rebuilt per page.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
How we build<\/h5><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Three principles behind every layout<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\uf885<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n

Logical source order<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Structure modules in the order a screen reader or keyboard user would encounter them. Use Display Order only to shift visual position \u2014 never to compensate for a broken source structure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Read the Guide<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\uf5fd<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n

Avoid over-nesting<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Two or three flex levels covers nearly every layout. A row, a nested group, and a button row inside it. Every extra wrapper adds a render cost and makes the Layers panel harder to maintain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

See Examples<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\uf87c<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n

Save to the Divi Library<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Once a flex row is tested across all breakpoints, save it to the Divi library. Spacing, direction, and display order settings travel with it \u2014 no rebuilding layout logic page after page.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
