Portal pages in Opus 2 are highly configurable and are built using the portal page editor, which allows users to assemble content drawn from files, documents, and worksheets. Pages are created using a block-based, drag-and-drop interface that separates page structure, layout, and content editing into clearly defined panels.

The portal page editor is divided into three main panels:

Panel	Purpose
Left-hand panel	Add sections and components
Middle panel	Build and preview the page layout
Right-hand panel	Edit the content and settings of selected components

This separation allows users to design the visual structure of a page independently from the content it displays.

Left-hand panel: sections

Sections define the page structure. They are horizontal block layouts that determine how content is arranged across the width of the page.

Available section layouts include:

Layout	Description
One column	Single section across the full page width
Two columns (equal)	Two sections of equal width
Two columns (2/3 – 1/3)	Two sections, wider on the left
Two columns (1/3 – 2/3)	Two sections, wider on the right
Three columns (equal)	Three sections of equal width
Four columns (equal)	Four sections of equal width

Sections are added by dragging them into the layout and stacking them vertically to build the complete page structure.

Left-hand panel: components

Components represent the actual content placed within sections. To add a component:

Select a component type from the left-hand panel.
Drag and drop it into an existing section.
Configure its content after placement.

Some supported component types include:

Text block
Image
Link
Input form
Calendar
Timeline
Worksheet
Chart
Cards
Single card
Documents

Each component has its own configuration options depending on its type.
