The Divi Interface
After launching the Divi Builder, you start in the “Wireframe” view. To view your exhibit page on different display types, use the view controls on the top right of the Divi Builder.
On the far left is the wireframe view, followed by the zoom out button, and the desktop, the tablet, and the mobile display buttons.
The “Wireframe” View
This view provides a blueprint of your exhibit page, nesting modules, rows, and sections. (Collectively known as layouts).
Together, these layouts make up an exhibit page. Continue to “Sections, Rows, and Modules” to learn more about building with these layouts.
