8	⚙ This section enables you to modify the customizable settings of a component or item. These settings dictate how the component behaves and appears. The href (link) field defines the URL destination of a specific link. For instance, a URL input such as “https://google.com” will redirect the user to Google when clicked. Rel describes the relationship of the link with its target. For example, the Alt option signifies that the link is positioned at the bottom of the page, which can influence the page layout or how the link is opened in the browser. Id assigns a unique identifier to the component or item, facilitating its association with other components or style rules. For instance, you might assign an identifier like “Text here.” Additionally, phishingLink allows you to dynamically alter the destination of a specific link. The expression phishingLink is a variable, and the value of this variable determines the redirection endpoint of the link.
9	📑 The Open Layer Management button is used for content management. It aims to simplify the process of creating or editing pages. It includes areas such as Body, section, column, and div. These areas allow you to organize content, apply styles, and manage the structure of the page when creating the page layout.

This is useful for controlling how much space the component occupies and how it appears.🔷 Typography: This style setting defines the appearance of text content. It allows you to customize the font, font color, font size, line spacing, and other text attributes.🔷 Decorations: This style setting enables you to arrange the decorative elements of the component (such as borders, background images, or frames).
