Basic Sections
Clicking on one of the "column" options will add an "empty" section with a single row divided into the number of columns you selected. This is the same as adding an empty row to an existing section.

These elements can be further adjusted by making changes to the relevant properties that suit your event needs. See the Donation Element and the Progress Tracker element using Type Thermometer for more details.
Instructions: Online Bidding
This will insert a number of elements that provide a generic description of how Online Bidding could work for your event. There are general references to Bidder Registration/Checkout, Maximum Bidding, and the Bid Extension Rules in effect.

Each of these elements can be updated as needed. See the Heading, Text Element, and/or Video content elements for more information about their properties.
Instructions: Texting
