Delete a Book Element
When your section is expanded, you should see columns and within them, image elements. View the image below. Depending on your project, you may have have buttons underneath the image element.
For our web design, 3 columns per row = 3 books per row. You may have many more rows of books and that’s okay.
As you can see on the above image, there are 3 columns and within those columns are image elements. Like I stated above, you may even have buttons within your columns. To remove an entire column you would delete everything within that column: images and buttons etc
Choose a column you want to delete and click on the icon.
If all you had within that section was 3 books, than where that column once was, it would be empty. You would only see 2 columns. Let’s say you had more rows of books, a bottom column would simply take the place of the one you deleted.
Don’t forget to Update the page.
