Shared elements objects are the foundation of all subpages. It is handy to place in shared elements like logo or menu, which appear on all or at least most subpages. 

 

 

Add elements to shared elements

You can add to shared elements a group of elements at once. Read more about a group of elements here.

 

 

 Shared elements edition

Layout objects can be edited in another, more direct way. In subpages list select "Shared elements". 

Keep in mind that all changes made in shared elements objects will affect all subpages with this layout.

 

 

The position of shared elements objects in layers

On layers list, you can see a group of elements named "Shared elements", where are all shared elements objects. This group is indivisible. It means that you cannot move elemenets from website to shared elements and vice versa. However you can move shared elements in any position in layers panel. Thanks to that you can show template on or belov rest of the elements in the webpage.

  

Different location on a webpage
