Wix Mobile Apps: Managing Your App Elements

11 min read

Each screen of your mobile app (e.g., Spaces by Wix, your own native app) contains different elements, similar to the elements on your site pages. You can select the elements that are most relevant to your business. For example, you can add a Service element to show a list of all your services and let your app users book them.

Once you've added the elements, arrange them where app users can clearly see and interact with them. You can also choose the specific screen where each element appears or remove elements that are no longer necessary.

In this article, learn how to:

Adding an element to your mobile apps

Add an element that suits your business and customize it according to your needs. Elements are organized by category so you can quickly find the one you want.

For example, if you have a store and want to add a gallery of all your products, you can add the product gallery element. Select the element and then directly place it onto the screen where you want it displayed.

Click the Screen drop-down at the top and select the relevant screen.
Click Elements on the left.
Select a category under Add Elements (e.g. Basic Items, Store, Bookings)
Choose the element you want to add to your screen. For example, under Basic Items you can add elements to design and organize your app like buttons, media, titles, and paragraphs.
Note: Not all elements can be customized from the web editor. You can update those elements from the Wix app.

Deleting an element

If you no longer want or need an element on your mobile app, delete it directly from the screen. You can add the same element again later, but any customization you’ve made to the element can’t be restored.
