Convert a blank panel

Anvil Q&A

Is it possible to convert a blank panel into a custom html page?

I don’t see how to do this through the web GUI but I assume it’s possible by hand editing the .yaml file. Or is that a bad idea?

It’s best to avoid hand editing the .yaml file. I would do the following procedure:

  1. Create a new Custom HTML Form
  2. Add a ColumnPanel to it
  3. Select all the components on your Blank Panel Form (CTRL+click)
  4. Copy and paste them into the ColumnPanel you created in step 2)
  5. Copy all the code from your BlankPanel to your Custom HTML Form.
  6. Delete the existing Blank Panel Form
