Step/Widget Properties

Properties for a Widget dictate how that it looks and behaves. The Properties Panel, to the right of the DemoGo window, displays all properties that are relevant to the currently selected Step. Properties for all Widget types are divided into four categories: Box, Text, Back and Flow. Each Widget type has its own available properties. The following is an overview of the editable properties associated with the various Widgets.

Box Properties

The Box properties are used to size and style the widget. Options within the Box Properties include:

    The vertical height of the box. Defaults to Auto, and matches the height of the box content.
  • Corners
    The corner radius of the box. Specified in pixels. Defaults to 10px.
