Mod Listing Panel

The first panel in the Page Editor lists your available mods. This is called the Mod Panel.

What is a Mod?

A mod is a grouping of one or more actions and enhancements that can run on a web page. Mods are created by combining any number of mix-and-match steps called ✨ Bricks ✨.

Mods Panel Layout

At the top of the Mods Panel, there are three buttons:

1. The home icon takes you to a view where you can discover templates

2. The "New Mod" button is where you start building a new mod

3. The << button collapses the panel.

• Home Button: clicking the home button takes you to the Page Editor welcome message, showing helpful links and resources

• New Mod Button: This is where it all begins! Clicking Add shows the starter bricks you can select for Types of Mods.

• Collapse/Expand Button: click to collapse the Mods Panel. You can re-expand the panel by clicking the button again.

Each mod listed has the following information and actions:

• Icon: indicates the type of starter brick

• Name: the name of the mod or mod package

• Save Indicator/Button: click the button to save changes. The button will only be enabled if there are unsaved changes

• Action Menu (three dots menu): a dropdown menu with the following actions:

  • Reset: resets any unsaved changes

  • Remove: remove a mod from your device. The mod will still be available from your PixieBrix account

  • Add to Mod: add the action/enhancement to a new or existing mod

  • Remove from Mod: remove an action/enhancement from a mod

  • Make a Copy: create a copy of the mod

Search For a Mod

Mods are sorted alphabetically in the mod panel. Use the search bar below the Add button to search for the name of a mod instead of scrolling through your list.

If you want a mod to always appear at the top of the list, start the mod name with A or a symbol like [.
