Header & Footer

Headers and footers appear at the top and bottom of document pages to display running titles, company logos, date stamps, and dynamic page numbering.

---

Margin Alignment & Positioning

Headers and footers dynamically adapt to the physical dimensions of your page layout:

• Margin Matching: The vertical space allocated for headers and footers automatically matches the Top Margin and Bottom Margin settings configured in your global Document Settings or Section Overrides.
• Section Control: You can independently enable or suppress headers and footers on specific pages (such as cover pages or appendix sections) using the Header and Footer toggles in the Section Overrides panel.

Adding Content (+ Widget)

Header and footer containers feature a central + widget for inserting supported layout and content elements:

1. Click the purple + button inside an empty header or footer area to open the inline block search popup.
2. Search or select a supported component to add to the header zone (e.g., Text, Variable, Page Numbering, Condition, or Image).

Multi-Column Layouts

Headers and footers support column layouts, allowing you to position content across left, center, and right alignments (for example, placing a company logo on the left and a page number on the right).

Adding Additional Columns

To split a header or footer into multiple columns:

1. Select an existing Header Column (Header Column (auto)) on the canvas.
2. Click the More Options (⋮) button in the floating component toolbar.

Inserting Page Numbers

   • Current Page (current): Outputs the 1-based page index of the active page.
   • Total Pages (total): Outputs the total page count of the compiled document (or section).
