The layouts

A layout that doesn’t fit the content is not shown, and neither is one that would look the same as the section does now or the same as another layout in the list. A section with no blocks inside it shows no button.

What stays the same

Only the arrangement changes. Every text, heading, button and image block keeps its words, links, styles, Show to rules and phone settings. The section keeps its own Show to, On phones and Advanced settings and its background color. A block inside the section that has its own Show to, phone or Advanced setting moves as one piece, so its rule stays with it. Card and Outlined use the theme’s card and border colors when the section has no background of its own. Columns stack on phones as they do everywhere else in the builder.
