Benefits of using Separator on your website

Improved organization

Alternative ways to separate your content

Another way to create a divider line is to edit a border of the container you place your content in, just follow those steps:

 

  1. Choose the elements on your website you want to separate with a divider line.
  2. Find the container you placed your elements in. Look it up in the Widget Tree or in the Hierarchy Bar.
  3. Select the container and go to the Widget Styles.
  4. In the Position Tab, click on the frame of the widget.
  5. Frame settings will immediately appear below the widget box, here you can edit the divider line properties.

Border vs Outline

Border is a line or area that surrounds and encloses the edge of an element.

Outline on the other hand is a line drawn around the outer edge of an element, without occupying its size. It is mostly used for decorative purposes and is usually thinner and drawn around the perimeter of the element.

Congratulations!
