Key Features of Elementor Navigator

Rename Every Element

When we have longer pages with multiple elements on them, it becomes confusing for us to differentiate between different elements. For this, Elementor provides us an option to easily customize each element by assigning custom names to them so that we can easily pick them.

Just double-click on any Navigator item to give it a custom name. This way, you can quickly identify and edit each element. 

Manage Layout in one place

Navigators provide a much better manageable control over the layout of the page. All the sections and columns on your page are displayed in a concise view inside the navigator window.

Select any section, column, or widget and just change their orders as you wish. This feature is helpful when you are dealing with different sections.

Hide or Show Elements

You can toggle the visibility of any element from the editing screen by clicking on the View button. The hidden element will only be hiding on the editor screen but still be visible when you preview the page.

Position the Navigator Panel Anywhere

Simply drag the navigator panel anywhere on the page, change it height, width, and pin it to the right side of the screen.
