Stack.

Let’s take a look at how to use Stack on Editor X.

On a responsive site, elements are free to resize and change position depending on the viewport. Use Stack to keep elements at a set distance from each other across all breakpoints.

This comes in handy with elements like text and buttons, when you want to maintain the vertical margins between them and prevent overlap on smaller screens.

Any elements on your canvas that are arranged in a vertical order can be stacked.

Here’s how it works.

On desktop, we’ve already sized and positioned our title, paragraph, and button.

But as we resize the screen, you can see these elements don’t have any spatial relationship between them yet.

From the Layers panel, notice how the elements are positioned freely within this section.

To create a relationship between these elements, use the Shift key to multi-select them and click Stack. This places them inside a responsive flexbox container that maintains their order.

Inside this new container, the elements now have vertical margins between them, indicated by these blue strips.

To adjust these margins, select an element, and from the Inspector panel, type in your desired value.

Now, when you resize the screen, you can see the 3 elements maintain a clear vertical relationship between each other.

Drag elements to reorder them in your stack. Notice the margins automatically adjust in relation to the new order.

You can always drag elements in and out of your Stack to attach and release them.

To release all elements from the flexbox container, select your stack, then click Unstack, or use the action menu from the Layers panel. Note, these actions change the hierarchy of the site, so they affect all breakpoints. Find out more about hierarchy in the Element Hierarchy and Parenting video in this series.
