Areas

By default you will have ALL areas included in the Featured Areas block.

Note: This applies to majority of the styles you choose.

However you can remove the 'ALL' filter, by clicking the 'x' button and place individual areas there, if you don't want them all there.

Note: these areas are created via Area Guides Plugin.

This style is split into 3 sections where you setup each column and some additional settings.

Content

You can fill content with Title, Text, and add a button with a Link.

This tab contains some additional customization options for the Content Column like:
