# Sections

Hide, show, move and delete sections, and learn what template pages pin, hide or refuse to move.

## Section settings

Select a section and open the **Design** tab. **Section settings** offers spacing presets (None, Compact, Cozy, Spacious) and a **Hide section** or **Show section** button. See [The Design inspector](https://www.uova.com/help/build/editor/design-inspector).

## Delete, hide and move sections

Generated sites are built on one of the templates and keep its element ids, so the template rules apply to a generated site as well as to a site you started from a template.

| Action | A section the template made | A section you added |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Delete | Hides the section instead. It stays in Layers, can be shown again, and undo restores it. | Removes it for real. |
| Move up or down | Steps past the next visible template section, and the page then paints in document order. | Swaps with the neighbouring element. |
| Hide or Show | Hides or shows the section. A hide is honoured on the live site. | The same. |

The Delete button in the quick-action row asks "Delete \"<name>\"?" first. The Delete key and the Layers menu do not ask.

## What is pinned on template pages

- The navigation, including its drawer or menu.
- The footer.
- The footer's legal line, the "©" line.
- Configuration blocks, whose names end in a `cfg` marker.
- Nothing can move above the navigation or below the footer.

A refused move or delete shows as a disabled button with the reason as a tooltip, such as "Can't move up: the site's navigation". The reasons are listed in [Layers, move, hide, duplicate, delete](https://www.uova.com/help/build/editor/layers-and-quick-actions).

## Sections that cannot move alone

- A section the template paints inside another section cannot be moved on its own. It stays right behind its host.
- A row that the page does not paint cannot be moved or deleted, and the Layers panel leaves it out.

## Common questions

**I deleted a section and it is still in my layers.**

On a template page Delete hides the section. Use **Show** in the quick-action row to bring it back.

**Can I delete the footer?**

No. On template pages the footer and its legal line are pinned.
