The shortest path to a page section takes four steps: choose a layout, replace the texts, remove what you do not need, publish.
The Choose a layout panel
In the Layout tab, open Choose a layout. One click on a thumbnail places the rows, the blocks and sample texts, written in the language of your administrator. All that is left is to replace those texts with yours.

Or a single element
Below the thumbnails, Or a single element places a row with a block holding just one element: a heading, an image, a list... It is the starting point for a layout built by hand.
One layout, one module
Opus builds a layout inside the space the module occupies in the template. A home page is therefore made of several Opus modules, one per section, rather than one module with several floors. Each one is published, assigned to menus and set up on its own.
To reuse a section on another page, simply duplicate the module in Content → Site Modules.
