We’re excited to release Module Groups for Divi 5, a new container element in Divi’s layout hierarchy that lets you group modules inside columns. Using groups, you can manage and style module compositions.
Furthermore, groups will be essential in Divi’s upcoming flexbox layout system and loop builder.
Check out the following video to see the new feature in action. 👇
A New Container For Additional Layout Flexibility
Groups are a new container in Divi’s layout hierarchy of Sections, Rows, Columns, and now Groups. Groups can be added inside columns to group modules and put them into a shared container. Once grouped, your modules can be duplicated, dragged, dropped, styled, and managed as a single element.
How To Add A Group
You’ll see a new Group element when you click the plus button inside a column.
Groups work just like Divi’s other containers. Add it to the page, and then you can add modules inside, allowing you to compose complex modules out of simple ones and manage them as a single element.
Styling, Presets, And Global Groups
Once grouped, modules can be duplicated, dragged, dropped, and saved to your library. Groups support presets and can even be saved as global elements.
They can also be styled using Divi’s full range of design settings. This allows you to add visual separation between groups of elements inside columns.
Groupception!
You can nest groups inside of groups and rows inside of rows, unlocking ultimate freedom with infinitely nestable containers.
In Divi 5, there are no limits or guardrails!
Groups Are About To Become More Powerful
Finally, it’s important to note that Groups are about to get a considerable upgrade with Divi’s upcoming flexbox update, which is right around the corner, and that’s why we wanted to develop Groups sooner rather than later.
With flexbox controls, you can easily manipulate module ordering and wrapping within groups.
Furthermore, groups will be essential to Divi 5’s upcoming loop builder, allowing you to loop groups of modules inside columns.
Try Divi 5 Today
Module Groups for Divi 5 is available today, and it’s one of many features coming to Divi this year.
You can follow along as we progress through the final release of Divi 5 and beyond, with updates every two weeks. Depending on your priorities, you can use Divi 5 now to build new websites or wait until we add more features, whatever works best for you.
As outlined in Divi 5’s original multi-phase release schedule, the Divi 5 Public Alpha is like “Divi 5 Lite.” It’s missing a few features and may not be suitable for existing websites, but it’s ready to be used on new websites if you prefer the experience to Divi 4.
We want you to try it, and if you love it, use it; when everyone loves it, we’ll make it official.
Sneak Peek: Flexbox Layouts And Controls
We’re building features fast. Every time we finish a new feature, we start a new one. Whenever we start a new feature, I give you a sneak peek.
In case you missed it, check out last week’s feature sneak peek, where I showcased Flexbox Layouts and Controls.
We are overhauling Divi’s layout system to use flexbox and introducing a wide range of new row templates. Plus, Divi elements are being updated with flexbox controls so you can easily control inner content vertical alignment, wrapping, and responsive ordering.

More Divi 5 Updates Are On The Way
2025 is the year of Divi 5. The tedious work is behind us. We built the super-fast foundation, and now it’s time for Divi to make its comeback.

In my last feature announcement, I asked you to help us beat our all-time like record of 580 likes, and we did with 680 likes! Do you think we can beat it again? Can we crack 700 likes in two weeks?
Lend us a hand and like this video; it’s a great way to help spread the word about new Divi 5 features and keep the momentum going.

Yay! This is a great foundation for Divi Loops! This is amazing.
Looking forward to building all kinds of loops with this essential module… grids, lists, sliders, carousels, tabbed, masonry, tickers, toggles, cards, timelines, and more…
The hard work is appreciated! Divi 5 has been a huge breath of fresh air.
So… it’s a div?
If I know how to style a column, is there any additional advantage by using a Group inside that column?
Hey, Oliver!
It’s more than that: it’s the basis of Divi 5’s upcoming loop builder, allowing you to loop groups of modules inside columns.
Fantastic. I am looking very much forward to full design control of query loops for posts and custom post types. I just have to say, as someone. who purchased a lifetime license many years ago, this is way above and beyond the value I expected to receive. Thank you for you and your team’s hard work.
