To align new elements under a heading in a container in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the container: Start by clicking on the container that you want to align the new elements in.

  2. Add a new element: To add a new element directly under the heading, you can simply click on the "+" icon that appears when you hover over the container. Choose the element you want to add from the element panel.

  3. Adjust element positioning: By default, new elements added will be placed next to each other within the container. To align the new element directly under the heading, you will need to adjust the positioning.

  • Flexbox: If the container is using flexbox for its layout, you can use the direction property to set it to "column" so that the new elements align vertically beneath the heading. This can be done by selecting the container, going to the Style panel, and setting the Flexbox direction to "Column".

  • Grid: If the container is using grid for its layout, you can adjust the grid settings to achieve the desired alignment. Select the container, go to the Style panel, and choose "Grid" from the "Display" field. Then, specify the grid layout properties such as "grid-template-rows" to allocate space for the heading and the new elements.

It's important to note that the specific steps may vary depending on your project setup and desired layout. However, the general principle of adjusting the container's layout properties to align new elements under a heading applies in most cases.

By following these steps, you can easily align new elements under a heading in a container in Webflow, ensuring a visually appealing and well-organized design.
