What is a Global Header and Footer?
A global header or footer is a section that is applied consistently across all pages of your website. Using global headers and footers ensures a unified look and feel, making it easier for users to navigate and for you to manage design changes from a single location.
How to Set a Section as a Global Header or Footer
To create a global header or footer in Vev, you must first assign a section to the correct layer.
Add or Select a Section: Begin by either adding a new section or selecting an existing one on your canvas.
Move to the Correct Layer: In the Layers panel on the left, drag the section into either the Header or Footer layer.
Use the Position Options: Alternatively, with the section selected, you can click one of the following options to set its position:
Header: Moves the section to the top of the page.
Main: The section is positioned between the header and footer.
Footer: Moves the section to the bottom of the page.
Apply to Pages: After setting the position, you can choose whether the section should be applied to all pages or only to specific, selected pages.
Editing a Global Header or Footer
You can edit a global header or footer just like any other section. However, it's important to remember that any changes you make will be automatically reflected on all pages where the global section is applied.
Editing Permissions
User permissions determine who can edit and manage global headers and footers:
Admins/Designers: These users have full control. They can set sections as headers or footers and choose which pages they appear on.
Content Editors: These users can edit the content within the header or footer, such as text and images. However, they cannot change the section's position or its settings. All content changes made by a Content Editor will apply to all pages where the global section is used.
