Weβre excited to release Module Groups for Divi 5, a new container element in Diviβs layout hierarchy that lets you group modules inside columns. Using groups, you can manage and style module compositions.
Furthermore, groups will be essential in Diviβs upcoming flexbox layout system and loop builder.
Check out the following video to see the new feature in action. π
A New Container For Additional Layout Flexibility
Groups are a new container in Diviβs 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
Youβll see a new Group element when you click the plus button inside a column.
Groups work just like Diviβs 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 Diviβs 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, itβs important to note that Groups are about to get a considerable upgrade with Diviβs upcoming flexbox update, which is right around the corner, and thatβs 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 5βs 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 itβs 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 5βs original multi-phase release schedule, the Divi 5 Public Alpha is like βDivi 5 Lite.β Itβs missing a few features and may not be suitable for existing websites, but itβs 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, weβll make it official.
Sneak Peek: Flexbox Layouts And Controls
Weβre 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 weekβs feature sneak peek, where I showcased Flexbox Layouts and Controls.
We are overhauling Diviβs 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.

Yay! This is a great foundation for Divi Loops! This is amazing.
Looking forward to building all kinds of loops with this essential moduleβ¦ grids, lists, sliders, carousels, tabbed, masonry, tickers, toggles, cards, timelines, and moreβ¦
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 5βs 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.
