Content Holder Design Elements

Ever found yourself wishing you could nest one Design Element inside another in SharePoint? Guess what—your wish has been granted!

ShortPoint has created something awesome just for you: Content-holder Design Elements. These special elements let you add other Design Elements right inside them. Imagine adding images, videos, buttons, and so much more within a single container—that’s the superpower of Content-Holder Design Elements.

And it’s easy to spot them too! Just click on the EasyPass tag of any Design Element, and if you see a plus icon pop up, congratulations, you've found a Content-holder!
