5. How to Add a New Section and Add Content
Adding a new section allows you to expand your page with fresh content, such as a new feature showcase, testimonial area, or call-to-action. Spectra’s Container block is perfect for creating sections, as it acts as a wrapper for multiple blocks.
Steps to Add a New Section
