Solution

  • There are multiple options for buttons, pick which one suits you best.

    • To behave like a page item, pick the "Position: Region Body". Then you'll have all the options you have with a page item

    • However, each region has a number of pre-defined positions where you can put buttons too. There are less options for configuration in those other pre-defined positions.

    • Typically, for a large number of buttons like in your case, I'd use a region template of type "Buttons Container" and then set all button attributes to "Start New Row: No" and "New Column: No". This gives a layout like this:

    To edit button spacing, use the "template options" for the component template. In the screenshot below: navigate to button > Appearance > Template Options:

    Edit template options:

    Do this for each button. Usually the region template will have similar options, those can also be used.
