• Resize an element within the Popup:

  • Text and image components: Use the resize controller in the middle-right side to adjust width only.

  • Button component: Resize controllers on the right side and bottom center, allowing both width and height adjustment.

  • The maximum width of an element is constrained by the Popup width. If padding is configured, the effective maximum width becomes the Popup width minus the applied padding.

• Configure the space in between elements: adjust vertical spacing and insert new elements between existing ones. Hover your cursor in between elements, and use the(double-arrow) button to adjust the space in between elements. Vertically dragging up or down increases or decreases the space between the elements.

You can use the Undo and Redo buttons in the editor to quickly revert or reapply changes while editing your popup.
