Themes - Using Arc Chains

Chains are a PageBuilder component that allows you to manage a group of Blocks within the chain.

For more information about chains, see PageBuilder Editor: Adding Blocks and Chains.

Single Chain

Key features:

  • Places features within the Single Chain in a single column.

  • This chain is most useful for Linking as it does not affect the presentation of the page. (For example, you can link all Right Rail content in a chain, so you can configure it on multiple templates from one fragment page).

Double Chain

Key features:

  • Places features within the Double Chain within two equal columns.

  • PageBuilder editor can configure how many features are placed in each column within the chain.

Configuration:

  • In PageBuilder editor, enter the number of blocks to display in column 1

  • The remaining blocks in the chain will overflow into column 2
