The Avada Live Workspace

Editing in a Front-End interface is a new way of working for many. With Avada Live, we have designed a modern and unobtrusive workspace that stays out of the way as much as possible. This minimalist approach allows you to see your content and layout clearly, while still giving you access to the tools you need to quickly build your website.
Read on to have a look around the new Avada Live Workspace, or watch the video for a visual overview.,Overview

Page Areas Outside The Builder

Conclusion,The ToolbarThe Toolbar runs along the very top of the page in Avada Live. This provides access to many page building tools, in much the way it does in the back-end builder. It is also sticky, so it always remains at the top of the page as you scroll, providing constant access to its important functions. Let』s have a look at this central component of Avada Live.
Left Hand Side
Avada Icon: This has no direct function. Mouse over this icon to see the current Avada version.

Toggle Sidebar: This opens and closes the Sidebar, where you can access the Global Options, Page Options, and the Element Settings.

Library: This accesses the Avada Builder Library.

History: This shows the latest 25 history states, allowing you to step backward throughout your actions.

Preferences: Here you can access the Avada Live Preferences.

Add New: This icon allows you to add a new Post, Page, Portfolio, FAQ, Layout or Element.

Clear Layout: This clears the layout from the page.
Right Hand Side
Support: Offers links to our Getting Started documentation, our Support portal, and the keyboard shortcuts available.

Responsive: This is now a dual purpose tool. Here you can preview the page in responsive modes, in desktop, tablet and phone preview. But this is now also a Responsive Editing Mode, for use with the Responsive Option Sets feature.

Toggle Wireframe: Click this icon to toggle the back-end wireframe in the Front-End Builder.

Preview: Preview mode closes all panels and removes front-end icons to give you a  quick, clean page preview.

Publish / Draft: These two buttons allow you to quickly set the publish state of the page, to Draft or Published.

SAVE: The Save Button allows you to save all the work done in the Front-End Builder, including edits to Elements, and theme and page options settings.
Exit: The Exit Button allows you to exit the builder, to the page front-end, the page back-end, or the WordPress dashboard.,Avada Live WorkspaceWhen you are first in Avada Live, the only things that really differentiates it from a front-end page is the Toolbar along the top, and the few icons overlaid on the content. It is when you mouse over these icons, that you can fully see and access the Element Controls.
There are Controls for every part of the page that can be edited. There are Container Controls, Column Controls, and individual Element Controls, as well as Nested Columns and separate controls for both Parent and Children items in Elements that use this structure. Just mouse over a content area and you will see the Element Controls for whatever content is there.
Take a good look at the image below. In this example, we have moused over the Content Box on the far left, and we can see a number of Element Controls:

Individual Content Box Element Controls – Illustrated as A

Content Boxes Parent Element Controls – Illustrated as B

Column Controls – Illustrated as C

Container Controls – Illustrated as D

『Add Element』 Icons – Illustrated as E – Two Add Icon also show on the screen, as those particular columns are empty and are, as such, easily missed.,Element Control IconsWhen you mouse over a Container, Column or Element you see the Element Controls. The initial view consists of a Settings Icon (the pen icon) and an Add Icon (a Plus icon for Elements, and a Column or Container Icon respectively for Columns and Containers.) See the image below for the initial view of all Element Controls.
When you mouse over a control, it expands to show the full range of controls for that item. The majority of these controls are the same for all items, although there are a few specific to the item. For example, all items have Edit, Add, Clone, Library, Delete and Drag icons, with the exception of child elements and individual columns inside a Nested Columns Element, which can』t be saved independently to the library, and so don』t have the Library icon. Also, Columns have an additional control to change the Column Size.
In the image below, you can see the Column Controls, Element Controls and Container Controls.
Column Element Controls
Column Options – This opens the Column Options Panel in the Sidebar, where you can then configure the Column as you wish.

Add Columns – This opens the Add Columns dialog, where you can add any a range of Column sizes and combinations to the parent Container.

Delete Column –  This deletes the chosen Column from the layout.

In fact, any time you see the hand icon, you can drag your content around the page, and guidelines will appear to show you the possible move locations. For more information on this, please see Cloning, Copying & Moving Elements in Avada Live.

Normal Page Content – Blue

Global Items – Cerise

100% Height Scroll Items  – Orange

Nested Columns – Dark Blue
Normal Items – Blue
Global Items – Cerise
100% Height Scroll – Orange
Nested Columns – Dark Blue,Editing With The Element ControlsWhen you edit the Options of a Container, Column, or Element (the pen icon), the Element Options panel opens in a Sidebar on the left of the page. If you prefer, you can change the Element Editing Mode setting in the Avada Live Preferences so that it opens in a standalone dialog instead. Once you have set your preferred working position, it will open in that area from then on, unless you change it again.
Now you can edit your element as you would in the back-end editor, with the main difference being you can see the element at the same time, and any changes you make to the element are reflected in real time on the page.
Depending on the Element you are editing, you will have a range of options and tabs which to configure the Element with. Your changes will be visible on the page immediately. When you have completed editing the element, you can just move on to the next Element. There is no Save button at the bottom of the Element Options, as there is now a Global Save button in the top right corner of the Fusion Builder Live Editor. Simply click Save there whenever you wish to commit your changes. Note that this will clear the History States.,Inline EditingWorking with text is a little different. With the Title And Text Block elements, and in fact any elements that have a text component, you can edit directly on the page without the need of any element dialog. Simply click in the text where you want to edit, and start typing. Also, if you select some text, the Inline Editing dialog appears.
To fully understand Inline Editing, please see our Best Practices for Inline Editing in Avada Live document.,Preferences & ShortcutsYou can customize the Avada Live Workspace to some degree, by setting your preferences. This is found in the main Toolbar, under the preferences icon. As you can see from the image below there are a number of preferences you can set, including the position of the Sidebar, and whether the Element Edit controls open in the Sidebar on in their own dialog.
There are also a range of shortcuts that can speed up your workflow in Avada Live. These can be found on the Toolbar under Support > Shortcuts.,NavigationIn Avada Live, you don』t need to return to the WordPress dashboard to navigate to new pages. Once you have edited and saved a page, you can simply navigate to another page using the main menu and keep editing. If the Header Icons are blocking the menu, just click on the Preview Icon and then you can see the menu without any icons interfering.
You can also navigate to other linked page on buttons by holding down Cmd/Ctrl while clicking on the button.
When leaving Avada Live, the Exit Icon gives you three choices – to leave to the page front end, the back end, or the WordPress Dashboard.,Page Areas Outside The BuilderThere are also areas of the page that are not directly editable in Avada Builder, as their content is generated via the Global Options, or other areas of WordPress. (You can easily see these areas see when using the Wireframe View). These are areas like the Header, the Footer, Sidebars, and Sliding Bars.
In Avada Live, we have added a series of icons to these areas, to enable fast access to these areas in WordPress or Avada to make changes.

Header Control Icons (from the left): Edit Header Layout, Edit Logo, Edit Main Menu, Add Slider, Add Page Title Bar. If you have a Page Title Bar or Slider on the Page, these icons will not be on this bar, but instead, relevant icons will be on the Page Title Bar and Slider respectively.

Header Layout – If your site has a Custom Header Layout, then there will be a single icon to enable you to edit the active Header Layout Section directly from the page. This will be the same for Page Title Bars, and Footers.

Footer, Sidebar & Sliding Bar Control Icons (from the left): Edit Footer, Edit Footer Widgets,ConclusionAs you use Avada Live, the workflow and controls will quickly become logical and evident. The beauty of the design of this front end builder is that it stays out of the way as much as possible, yet everything you need is right at your fingertips.

Using The Avada Live Wireframe

A very useful new feature in Avada Live is accessing the wireframe editor while editing on the front end. If at any point in your editing process, you want to see the wireframe and/or edit using the back-end editor while still being in the front-end editor, you are in luck. Watch the video, or read on to see how this feature works…,How To Access The WireframeWhen you are in Avada Live, you will see the Wireframe Toggle icon in the Toolbar at the top of the page. It is the third one on the right-hand side, as seen in the image below. Click on this to view the wireframe, in place of the live content. Just note that headers, footers, and sliders, etc will remain in live view, as these are not created in the page builder.
Using The WireframeApart from being useful to orient yourself, as you transition from back-end to front-end editing, you can also edit your page in this hybrid mode, just as you would with the back-end editor, but just from within the front-end interface. You can do everything you can in the back-end editor, from creating, moving and naming containers, through to full editing of their contents. It truly is the best of both worlds.
Editing Elements Using The WireframeOnce you have the wireframe open, editing an element opens the Element Options panel in the Sidebar. This panel has identical contents as when you are editing elements in the back-end. Simply make your changes you can save your changes to the page at any time by clicking the Save Button at the top right on the Toolbar.
To exit the wireframe view, just click on the wireframe icon once more, and you will be returned to the standard workspace in Avada Live.

How To Use Avada Studio

Avada Studio is an awesome design feature, that allows you to add pre-built, professionally designed content blocks virtually anywhere into your site. These content blocks are as simple as a single element, as complex as a full page template, and everywhere in between. New content blocks will also be added regularly, and they are easy to use and customize. This huge and ever increasing library of content will help you build your sites even faster, with top notch designs, right out of the box.
Read on to discover the different types of Avada Studio content, where to find them, and how to use them. And watch the video below for a visual overview.,avada.studioIt all starts at avada.studio. Here, you can see an overview of the Avada Studio content, and you can sort, browse and preview the full range of available content. The website is loaded with design inspiration, and will be updated regularly with new content blocks.
On the far left, you can see the eleven types of Studio content – Templates, Headers, Page Title Bars, Content Sections, Footers, Containers, Columns, Elements, Icons, Forms, and Post Cards. Next to this are the categories for that content type. You can sort the content blocks into their various styles to help you refine your selection. In the main window you can see a preview of the various content blocks. Just click on one to get a full width functioning preview of the particular block.
Rome wasn』t built in a day, and while there is a good amount of content to kick Avada Studio off, as the content grows, this will become an amazing source of design inspiration, all of which is also available to you directly from within your Avada website.,Avada Dashboard > StudioThe Studio page within Avada is available from the Avada Dashboard. You will have to have a registered copy of Avada to access this area. Like the avada.studio website, this area allows you to sort, browse, and preview the Studio content, but with the added ability to save your favourite content directly into your Avada Library.
This time the content types are arrayed across the top, but with the same sort and preview functionality as the studio website. The magnifying glass icon allows you to preview the individual content blocks, while the Library icon allows you to save content blocks directly into the Avada Builder Library for future use. You don』t have to save anything from here, as all the content is available to be added through the Avada Library when building your content in Avada Builder (with the single exception of icons). But it』s an easy way to save preferred content blocks as you are browsing.
New Avada Studio content will be added to this area as new designs are created, and there is also a Sync Avada Studio button at the top of the page to ensure you have the latest content.,Adding Avada Studio ContentAvada Studio Content Blocks are all added to your site through the Avada Builder, and the Avada Library. How you add Studio content depends slightly on the type of content it is. There are eleven types of Studio content, which can be gouped into six areas, covering every area of Avada. Let』s look at them separately.
Avada Studio Page TemplatesAvada Studio Headers, Page Title Bars, Content Sections & FootersAvada Studio Containers, Columns & ElementsAvada Studio IconsAvada Studio FormsAvada Studio Post CardsAvada Studio Off Canvas,Avada Studio Page TemplatesThese are accessed from a blank page, via the Avada Studio Button on the Starter page, or at any time on a normal page from the Avada Library icon on the Toolbar and then the Studio tab. These are full page templates.
To add this page template content, just mouse over the desired template and replace any existing content, or add it below or above any existing content. A dialogue appears, showing the import process, and the content appears in the builder.
One thing to note here is the Avada Library > Websites tab. This is simlar, but diffferent to Avada Studio Content. Both are full page templates, but here, you can import any of the individual pages from any of the eighty plus prebuilt websites. This area has also recently had a makeover, and with Avada 7.5, this content now imports with images.,Avada Studio Headers, PTBs, Content Sections & FootersThis type of Studio content is designed to be added to any one of the four types of Layout Sections, for use in Avada Layouts. If you are on a new Layout Section, you can add a prebuilt Studio Header, Page Title Bar, Content Section or Footer respectively, by clicking on the Avada Studio buton. You can also access the Studio Content at any time by opening the Avada Library from the toolbar and heading to the Studio tab.
These prebuilt, professionally designed Layout Sections can then be edited and customized to suit your content. Once you have completed them, just save them. To use them on your site, they would then need to be assigned to a Global or Conditional Layout at Avada > Layouts.,Avada Studio Containers, Columns & ElementsThis type of Studio content is designed to be added in the normal flow of building page content. When you add a new Container, Column or Element, just switch to the Studio tab, and there you will have access to the full range of the respective Studio content blocks.
This content can help you quickly build pages with great design and functionality, wthout having to build it all from scratch.,Avada Studio IconsIcon Studio content is a little different than the others. These content blocks need to be saved from the Avada Studio page, found at Avada Dashboard > Studio. Icon sets saved here are saved to the Icon page.
Then, you can access any of the icons in the imported custom icon set through any place were you find the Icon picker. Many Elements have an icon option, as well as the Icon Element. Just look at the sets across the top of the Icon Picker and you will see any custom icon sets that have been added to Avada.,Avada Studio FormsAvada Studio Forms can be saved directly to the Forms Builder page from the Studio page, but these can also be added when creating a new Avada Form. Just click the Avada Studio button from the Form Builder starter page to access the Studio forms, and add your preferred form. You can also acess the Studio tab through the Library when there is content on the page.
Of course, the imported Studio forms will need to be customized for your content and submission preferences, and then once they are finished, you can add them into your content with the Avada Form Element.,Avada Studio Post CardsAvada Studio Post Card content is added in a similar way. You can save Post Card Content directly to the Avada Library from the Avada Dashboard > Studio page, or when building a new Post Card.
There is no Starter Page when adding Post Cards, so the way to access Studio content here is to access the Avada Library and add a Post Card from there. These Post Card designs can be used directly as they are, by inserting them into your Layout Sections with the Post Card Element, or they can of course be first customized to suit your needs.,Avada Studio Off CanvasAvada Studio Off Canvas content is the latest addition to Avada Studio. You add Off Canvas Studio Content directly from the Starter Page of the Avada Off Canvas Builder.
There is a range of Off Canvas designs for you to load, from Popups, and various types of Sliding Bars.,ConclusionWe think Avada Studio is a real gamechanger for Avada users. This rapidfire way of deploying professionally designed content into your site will speed up your workflow immensely, and also ensure your designs are of the highest standard.

Avada Builder Right Click Options

A small, but awesome feature, that was added back in Avada 5.6, is the ability to manage your Avada Builder Elements, Columns, and Containers through a right click menu.
When you right click within the Avada Builder, or within Avada Live, a contextual menu appears, with options for you to edit, clone, save, remove, copy, and paste elements. This provides easier element interactions and improves your workflow efficiency. Continue reading below to know more about the options available in the Avada Builder right click feature, or watch the video below for a visual overview.

If you are editing a saved library item, you will also have right click menus. If you right click on the same element type that it has been saved as, (e.g. right clicking on an element if the library type is for element) then it will only show Edit and Copy options. Other options such as Clone, Save, Remove, and Paste will be available if for example you right click on an element in a column or container library type.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You can copy an Element, Column, or Container from one page/post and then paste it into any other  pages/posts as you require (or as many times). This includes adding Elements to widgets.

Avada Builder Element Generator

The Avada Builder Element Generator allows you to add Avada Builder Elements directly from the WordPress editor. You can use this tool in a variety of ways. It lets you insert Inline Elements into your text content, and you can even insert Elements inside other Elements!
You can access the Avada Builder Element Generator in the WordPress Editor toolbar, which means you can access the Element Generator in any Element that has a WordPress Content Editor, such as the Text Box, Title, or Checklists Elements to name a few.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Avada Builder plugin must be installed and active in order to access the Element Generator.,How To Use The Element GeneratorStep 1 – Activate Avada Builder, or Avada Live.
Step 2 – Insert a Container on the page, then select your desired column layout.
Step 3 – Insert any element that has a WordPress Content Editor by clicking the 『+ Element』 button on any column. For example, the Text Block element.
Step 4 – Click the 『Edit Settings』 icon on your chosen Element to bring up its options window.
Step 5 – On the WordPress Content Editor toolbar, find the Element Generator which is represented by an Avada Logo icon.
Step 6 – Clicking the Element Generator icon will bring up the Elements window. Here, you』ll find the Inline Elements. You can also insert standard Elements inside other Elements, but please keep in mind that some may not be compatible with each other. For example, you might insert the Tab Element, and then add 3 tabs. Then inside each Tab Content area, you might click on the Avada Builder Element Generator to add a Woo Featured Product Slider Element. See the Featured Products at the top of the home page on the Classic Shop Demo for an example of exactly this usage.
Step 7 – Select your desired element to bring up the options window. Configure the element and then click 『Insert』 to insert it into the WordPress Content Editor.
Step 8 – Click 『Save』 on the main element to save all your changes.,How To Use The Element Generator In Avada LiveUsing the Avada Builder Element Generator in Avada Live is essentially the same process. When you add any Element that has a text based component, and therefore has the WordPress Editor in its options, you will see the Element Generator Icon in the Editor toolbar. The only difference is that the editor will be in the Sidebar, unless you have changed your preferences to edit Elements in a freestanding dialog.

Avada Live Global Options Management

With Avada Live, Global Options Management is built directly into the Builder.
What this means, is that while you are editing a page in Avada Live, you can also access the Global Options Panel without leaving the page, make any changes you wish, and have the changes reflect immediately in the document you are working on. This is a great time saving workflow feature and will speed up your work considerably.
Please watch the video, or read on below to find out more about this great new feature.,How To Access Global Options In Avada LiveThere are several types of global options you can access and manage in Avada Live.
The first ones are the Avada Global Options. On the Toolbar, at the top of the page, you will see a row of icons, as shown in the image below. The second one along is the Sidebar icon. Clicking this opens the Sidebar, which has three tabs – the Global Options, the Page Options, and Element Options panel.

Get Avada,Avada Global OptionsThe Sidebar opens, by default, in a panel on the left of the screen, as seen below. If you prefer, you can set it on the right, via the Preferences icon on the toolbar. The entire set of the Global Options are available to you here in the Sidebar, in an easy to use interface.
Any changes you make in the Global Options are shown directly on the page as it auto-refreshes to show you the changes. Also, after any changes, you will notice the Save Button at the top-right of the Toolbar becomes blue. This signifies changes have been made and are ready to save.,Avada Builder Element OptionsAs part of the Avada Options, there are, of course, the Avada Builder Element Options. This is the penultimate item of the Global Options panel, and is where you can set global options for the Avada Builder Elements.
Like the other global options, any relevant changes you make will be updated instantly on the page, and the Save button will go blue to show there are unsaved changes.,Other Global OptionsSome sections of the page are not editable directly in Avada Live, in the same way, they are not editable in the back-end builder. These areas are not coming from the builder, and are controlled from the Global Options, or other areas in WordPress.
These are areas like the Header, the Menu, the Logo, the Sliders, the Page Title Bar, the Sidebars, the Sliding Bar, and the Footer. You can identify these areas most easily by toggling the Wireframe icon on the top Toolbar. The sections that are not in the Wireframe are outside of page content.
In Avada Live, if you mouse over one of these areas, you will see a Control Bar with icons, and clicking the various icons takes you directly to the relevant section of WordPress, in a new tab, or the Global Options, in the Sidebar Panel. Depending on the icon, and what the default settings are, these may be global or local options. In the Header Control Bar, for example, there is a shortcut to the Header Layout, the Logo, and the Main Menu (all global), as well as an Add Slider Icon if there is no slider on the page (local option), and an Add Page Title Bar Icon (again, only if there is no Page Title Bar already on the page and this Icon is local or global depending on default settings).
If your site has a Custom Header Layout, then instead, there will be a single icon to enable you to edit the active Header Layout Section directly from the page. This will be the same for Page Title Bars, and Footers.,Global Save ButtonAs noted above, there is no Save button at the bottom of the Global Options panel in Avada Live. All changes are updated on the page as soon as they are made, but with Avada Live, we have combined the Save button for both page content, and theme and page options.
So now there is a Global Save Button, on the far right of the top toolbar. When no changes have been made, the icon is grey. It turns blue as soon as any change has been made, whether that is in page content, theme options, or page options, and when you click it, the button turns temporarily green to show you it has saved before turning grey again. History states are also cleared when a page is saved.
