WYSIWYG Web Builder 21.1 released!

Post by Pablo »

WYSIWYG Web Builder 21.1 is a major update. This version adds several new features and includes many other improvements.

- New feature: Added Visual Edit Mode for the Flex Grid.
Flex Grid layouts can now be edited directly on the workspace. Select a Flex Grid and choose Visual Edit Mode from the Ribbon or menu to switch to the new interactive Grid Edit Mode. The workspace displays the grid structure with dashed track lines, track-size labels, empty-cell markers, and color-coded sections so the layout is easy to understand at a glance.
In Visual Edit Mode, you can create new sections by clicking and dragging across empty cells. Existing sections can be moved by dragging them to another position, resized from the bottom-right corner, or removed using the delete button shown on the section. Changes are saved back to the grid template automatically when you leave edit mode.
To help prevent layout mistakes, the editor shows a live preview while dragging or resizing sections. If the target area overlaps another section or falls outside the grid, the preview is highlighted in red and the change is not applied when you release the mouse.

- New feature: Added the ability to add and remove columns to Flex Grids via the Ribbon.

- New feature: Added a new Flexible Layout option to Import HTML, allowing imported pages to be converted into responsive layout grids where possible. The HTML importer has also been significantly improved with a new import engine, better support for modern CSS, Bootstrap-style layouts, cards, media, SVG images, forms, navigation, and multi-page imports. Absolute layout import has also been enhanced for more accurate positioning, styling, images and backgrounds.

Technical note: The new HTML import engine uses the same underlying technology as the AI Text-to-Website feature. Both systems analyze content and structure, then create editable Web Builder objects such as text, images, buttons, navigation menus, grids, and containers. The difference is the source of the content. With Text-to-Website, AI generates the page content and layout from a written description. With HTML Import, an existing rendered HTML page is used as the source instead. No AI is used to generate or rewrite the page content during the import process.
