Access Pages to Edit
In this video you will learn how to access the pages of your website in order to edit.
Getting Started With The Divi Builder
The Divi Builder comes in two forms: The standard “Back-end Builder” and the front-end “Visual Builder.” Both interfaces allow you to build exactly the same types of websites with the same content elements and design settings. The only difference is the interface. The Back-end Builder lives inside of the WordPress Dashboard and it can be accessed along with all of the other standard WordPress settings. It sits inside the WordPress UI and replaces the standard WordPress post editor. It’s great for making quick changes while you are inside the dashboard, but it’s also confined by the dashboard and is rendered as a block-based representation of your website. This tutorial will be focusing only on the visual builder. View The Full Documentation Page: https://www.elegantthemes.com/documen…

You can access and import pre-made layouts directly from the Divi Builder when creating or editing a page.

Change or add text
Text can be added anywhere on your page. Text modules can be placed within any column type, and when combined with other modules, they make for a truly dynamic page. When you add a text module, you are given all of the editing capabilities of a normal WordPress page. The text module can be used to create a small bit of text within a complex layout, or it can be used in a full width column to create an entire page.
