4. Layout Name – Name the page layout.
5. Save To Divi Cloud – Toggle this option to “on” to save this page layout to the Divi Cloud.
6. Add To Categories – Click the checkbox next to the category you want to be assigned to this layout, or create a new category by typing in the input field.
7. Add To Tags – Click in the tags input field to apply existing tags, or create a new tag by typing in the second input field.

The approach is similar when it comes to sections, rows and, modules.

1. Navigate to the section, row, or module you want to save and enable the Visual Builder.
2. Click the purple downward arrow icon on the section, row, or module. This brings up the Add To Library window with the following options:

5. Save As Global – Toggle this option to “on” if you’d like to save the item as a global item. Note: If you click Save To Divi Cloud, then you won’t be able to save this item as a global item. Same thing vice versa – if you save this item as a global item, you won’t be able to save it to the cloud.
