New:

• Introducing Revamped Container Layout Options: ‘Normal’, ‘Narrow’, ‘Fullwidth’. (Learn More)

  Earlier, we offered five different layouts, namely: Fullwidth Contained, Fullwidth Stretched, Boxed Layout, Content Boxed, and Narrow Layout.

  Now, with the latest release, we have simplified them to only three: Normal, Narrow, and Fullwidth Layouts. The new layouts are intuitive to use, avoid complexity, and provide users with more clarity while managing the Container Layouts.

• Introducing new Container Style Options: ‘Boxed’, ‘Unboxed’. (Learn More )

  We have a brand new option called the Container Style, which will provide the users the ability to customize the look and feel of the containers.

  It comes in two modes: Boxed and Unboxed. The Boxed Option applies a “Boxed” background and boundary to the container, whereas, on the contrary, the Unboxed Option provides a clean “Unboxed” look without any background or boundaries.

  The Container Style is fully flexible and can be combined with the layouts and the Sidebar Style Option.

• Introducing new Sidebar Style Options: ‘Boxed’, ‘Unboxed’. (Learn More)

  We also have another new option called the Sidebar Style. It provides the users the capability to customize the look and feel of the sidebar.

  It too comes in two modes: Boxed and Unboxed.

  The Boxed Option applies a “Boxed” background and boundary to the sidebar, whereas, on the contrary, the Unboxed Option provides a clean “Unboxed” look without any background or boundaries.

  The Sidebar Style is fully flexible and can be combined with the layouts and the Container Style Option. Unboxed:

Improvement:

• Migrating container & sidebar layouts to new revamped settings for better user experience. (Learn More)

  After updating to the newly released Beta Version, Astra will automatically update the existing container layouts and migrate to the new options based on your existing site’s customizations. Please also note that going forward, we have provided backward compatibility for the sidebar with the Fullwidth Layout. Meaning, for the existing users upgrading to the latest version, the sidebar will remain intact with the Full-Width (Earlier called Full-Width Stretch) Layout but will not be supported anymore for the new users of Astra.
