About the Page Editor
The Georgia State Fle(x) 2 theme uses WPBakery Page Builder for page layout and content editing. WPBakery Page Builder is a flexible, powerful visual editor for your pages without the need for coding. With WPBakery Page Builder you can create complex layouts using a drag-and-drop editor as well as make simple content updates in a WYSIWYG editor. We combine WPBakery Page Builder with Ultimate Add-ons and Templatera to deliver enhanced elements and templates to manage layout reuse and global content. In addition, we provide customized elements pre-formatted with Georgia State colors and typography.

Frontend Editor
The Frontend Editor is best used for making content changes such as dates, announcements, titles and descriptions. This editor makes it quick and easy to identify content to change and see how the change will look to your end users.
Backend Editor
The backend editor is best suited for laying out your page and adding or changing elements.
This editor's drag-and-drop building block view makes it easy to visually adjust layouts and rearrange elements.
Georgia State Elements
When adding elements to a page in the Frontend or Backend Editor, the My Elements tab contains a set of pre-styled elements for you to drop into your pages.
These elements include buttons, vertical and horizontal tabs, accordions and creative links.
Templates
There are two ways to use templates in WPBakery Page Builder. Layouts can be saved as templates and reused to create new pages with similar layouts. Templates can be created for global content to be used in multiple places using the Templatera element to place content in pages while editing in one place. Contact us at https://gsu.uservoice.com for help working with templates.
Classic Editor
The WordPress Classic Editor may still be used to find and replace specific information in the backend of a page or to copy and paste code for reuse from a template. The Classic Editor should not be used to insert custom CSS or custom HTML styling. WPBakery provides options for this in the Frontend and Backend Editors.
