Navigator
In Elementor Version 2.2 added a useful design feature to help you clear your pages clutter.
Navigator is a navigation tree panel providing easy access to every element on the editor with just one click. Navigator enables the user to drag elements throughout the page and edit them, quickly and easily.
Navigator is particularly useful for long pages or pages with complex multi-layered design, and for elements combining Z-Index, minus margin, position absolute, etc. It allows you to access element handles that may be positioned behind other elements.
Access Navigator
You can access Navigator in one of 3 simple ways:
- Right-click any element and then click on Navigator. This will automatically redirect you to the specific element in the navigation tree.
- Click on the elements button
in the panel's footer.
- Use the Cmd/Ctrl + I keyboard shortcut.
Choose an element to edit
Click once on any element to immediately scroll to its Edit panel.
Rearrange elements
Drag any element up or down and drop before or after any other element.

Right-click options
Right-click an element to enable all of its normal right-click menu options, such as Edit, Duplicate, Copy, Paste, etc.

Hide / Show elements
Click the element’s View button
to show or hide the element, enabling you to better focus on design.

Note: This will not affect the front end of your website.
Name elements
- Double-click the element name. The area will change to a blue highlight, indicating you are in insert/edit mode.
- Type a custom name to help you easily identify the element at a later time.

Collapse/Expand one element
Click an individual element’s arrow button to expand or collapse that element.

Collapse/Expand all elements
Click the up
or down
arrow button in the upper left of the Navigator panel to expand or collapse all of the elements at one time.
Position Navigator panel
Float
Drag the Navigator panel anywhere on the page
Dock
Pin the Navigator panel to the side of the screen by dropping it inside the vertical blue drop zone that appears when the panel is dragged near the right side of the screen.

Revision History, Undo and Redo
Elementor includes a built-in Revision History, as well as Undo and Redo. With these features, you get a log for every action and save made on the editor.
The history panel is accessed by clicking on the
icon at the bottom of the panel.
This will open the History panel, that includes Actions and Revisions.
The Actions Tab
The Actions Tab logs every 'action' you make in Elementor.
Browsing and clicking on the Actions list will let you trace back your steps. You can move back and forth between actions.
Each item on the Actions list includes the name of the element and the type of change, whether it is an addition or an edit.
At the bottom of the Actions list, you’ll find when 'Editing started'. If you want to go further back, switch to the Revisions Tab.
The Revisions Tab
Everytime a page updates, a new revision is created.
You can switch between revisions and revert back to any previous one saved.
Each revision item lists the date, time and creator of the revision. Click on Apply to apply the revision on the current page. Click on Discard to return to the current version of the page.

Undo / Redo Keyboard Shortcuts
You can also use CTRL-Z (Windows) or CMD-Z (Mac) to undo your last action and CTRL-SHIFT-Z or CMD-SHIFT-Z to redo your last action.
How to Move Sections in Elementor
It is very easy to move an Elementor section above or below another section, in either one of two ways.
Drag and Drop The Section Using the Navigator
The Navigator is a quick and easy way to move sections, and is often preferred, since you don’t have to drag the mouse far up or down a page. Access the Navigator in one of three ways:
- Click on the Navigator button
in the panel's footer, or use the Cmd/Ctrl + I keyboard shortcut.
- Alternately, you can right-click any element and then click on Navigator. This will automatically redirect you to the specific element in the navigation tree.
- Once the Navigator is open, left-click and hold the mouse button down on the section element you want to move, and drag it up or down, dropping it before or after any other element.

Drag and Drop The Section Via The Section Handle
- Click and hold your left mouse button on the handle of the section you wish to move.
- While you continue to hold the mouse button down, drag the section to its new location.
- When you see the blue line appear in the correct place, let go of the mouse button. This will place the section into the blue drop zone. The move is now complete.
