5. Check The New Settings In The Divi Modules
The Divi Dynamic Helper adds the dynamic content icon directly to the existing Video, Audio, Gallery, and Map modules in Divi. The best part about the plugin is that it is not a set of new modules, but rather an upgrade to the existing default modules that come with Divi. We have created extensive documentation with videos, screenshots, GIFs, and written guides for each module, so be sure to follow the documentation when using each module.
6. Start Adding Divi Library Layouts With Dynamic Content (No More Shortcodes!)
The Divi Dynamic Helper plugin adds Divi Library dynamic content support to the Divi dynamic content feature! Whenever you click the gray dynamic content icon in any module – Text, Blurb Body, Accordion, Tabs, Slider, etc. you can add a nested Divi Library layout! That’s right, no more shortcodes! You can just create or add layouts, sections, rows, and modules to your Divi Library, then add them anywhere with dynamic content! Super, super quick and easy! Any module can now be nested within another one!
