What Are Module Variations?
Module variations let you show or hide elements inside a module. This removes the need to create multiple versions of the same module. Use this feature to keep your designs flexible. Adjust layouts without rebuilding content.
Benefits
Reduce the number of modules you manage
Adapt layouts quickly
Reuse modules across campaigns
Control full sections or individual elements

2. Make Elements Optional
Select an element in your module.
Toggle the setting to make it optional.
3. Set Default Visibility and Name Elements
Enable by Default
Turn on or off the Enabled by Default toggle.
This controls if the element appears automatically.
Name the Element
Add a clear name for the element or section. This helps when editing the asset later.
Skip naming → A default name is applied
4. Repeat for Additional Elements
Apply the same setup to other elements or sections.
Create as many optional elements as needed.
5. Use the Module in an Asset
Open the asset editor.
Drag the module into an asset.
Turn elements on or off based on your needs.
Best Practices
Use clear naming for each variation
Keep variations simple and purposeful
Avoid too many toggles in one module
If you clone a variation, rename it immediately. Verify that you are editing the cloned variation before making changes. This ensures your updates apply to the new variation. It also helps keep the original variation unchanged.
