Every component in Replo is part of a container, and those containers can also be part of containers, and so on. These containers inside of containers create a "tree" of components, which you can view and edit on the left side of the screen, directly under the pages list.
To Select a Component in the Tree:

To Rearrange Components:

Components that can have content inside them, like Containers and Products, can be expanded in the tree so you can see what other components are inside of them.
- Find the component you want to expand, and select it.
- Click the small gray arrow to the left of the component's name
By default, clicking the arrow will expand "one level" of components - if you want to expand everything inside a container, and everything inside containers inside of that container, etc, you can option-click (alt-click on Windows) the gray arrow to expand the component and everything inside of it.
Closing Store PopUps
Sometimes, the editor may seem unresponsive when clicking on the center component canvas. This is usually because your store/theme is displaying a pop-up that needs to be closed first. We are working on an automatic way to close these pop-ups for you in the editor, but for now, the best way to fix this is:
- Toggle to preview mode by clicking “Preview” on the left side of the Footer
- Once in preview mode, you can interact with the page and close the popup as any site visitor would (usually
xin the top right) - To go back to editing the page, toggle back to “Edit” mode on the left side of the Footer
Pretty simple. Here is a quick video to help if needed.
