Highlighted on this page is the light switches under "Site Settings" that allow you to add or remove sections depending on whether they are on or off respectively. Turn on the switches for the sites you wish to add the sections to and turn off the switches on the sites you wish to remove the sections from. Once you're good to go, press the "Save" button which we have highlighted on the top right side.

Under Site Settings:

  • Turn on the light switch on the site that you wish to add the section to.
  • Turn of the light switch on the site that you wish to remove the section from.

Once you've made your changes and they look good, press Save.
