Wix Editor: Using the Editor Tools

The Wix Editor offers several built-in tools to make your design process faster and more precise. You can find these features in the Tools panel at the top right of the editor.

The Editor Toolbar helps you perform basic actions quickly. Use it to copy, paste, duplicate or delete elements on your page. You can also adjust element settings such as size, position and alignment. 

After enabling the Toolbar from the Tools panel, you'll find it on the right side of the editor.

The Layers panel shows you all of the elements on your page. The panel is divided by the main parts of your page (header, page and footer) so you can easily find the elements you need.

After enabling the Layers panel, it appears as a floating panel you can drag anywhere inside the editor. You can enable it by clicking the Layers icon at the bottom left of the editor.

Using the horizontal and vertical rulers, you can accurately place elements on your site. Position your elements in specific locations (in pixels) and add guides to help you mark these spots. 

After enabling Rulers from the Tools panel, you can see the horizontal ruler along the top and the vertical ruler on the right side. 

Gridlines are the dotted lines inside your editor that can help you build your site's layout correctly. The vertical gridlines are especially useful, as they show your page's maximum width on tablets and smaller devices. 

Use the gridlines to ensure your content is visible on every possible screen size. Depending on your needs, you can enable and disable them at any point. Learn more about the Editor gridlines

The Snap to Objects tool helps you attach elements to one another with complete accuracy. 

Once you drag an element, purple lines appear in order to mark the borders of other elements on that page. When you decide to drop the element you're dragging, it "snaps" to these markers within a 5 pixel range.
