Notes:
- When attaching elements to a strip or column, the layers of the Editor may cause them to be hidden behind the strip / column. To view and select hidden elements, right click the area and use the Overlapping Items feature.
- You might need to move your strip or column backward, and your elements forward for them to attach to the strip / column.

Attaching elements to a strip
Once you have added elements to your strip, they become attached to it and you can move the strip around with the elements.
To attach elements to strip:
- Resize the strip or element so the element fits within the strip's top and bottom borders. The element must be smaller than the strip to attach it.
- Click and drag the element over the strip.
- Drop the element when you see the message Attach to Strip.
Note: Make sure to attach elements within the vertical gridlines of the strip so they display on smaller screens. Learn more about working with gridlines.

Tip:
To detach an element from a strip, click and drag the element completely out of the strip.

- Resize the element or column so the element can fit within the column. The element must be smaller than the column to attach to it.
- Click and drag the element over the column.
- Drop the element when you see Attach to Column.

To detach an element from a column, click and drag the element completely out of the column.
