Optional section
Why use the Optional section on your Duda website?
Control content per collection item
Dynamic pages often use one fixed layout for many items. That becomes limiting when some items need extra information and others do not. The Optional Section widget lets you decide per row or column whether content should appear for a specific item.
Avoid empty or irrelevant sections
A dynamic page can quickly feel unfinished when empty sections, missing fields or irrelevant content still appear. This widget helps keep each page cleaner by hiding parts that do not apply to that specific product, service, location, project or profile.
Reduce repeated page variations
Without conditional visibility, agencies may need separate layouts, manual workarounds or duplicated pages. The Optional Section widget helps keep one dynamic page structure while still allowing item-specific variation, which is useful for scalable Duda builds.
Make dynamic pages feel more flexible
A collection-driven page should not feel static. By showing or hiding selected rows or columns per item, agencies can create more relevant page experiences while keeping content management structured inside Duda.
