2) Now, locate an HTML module for which you wish to make a new container; go to its Module Setti ngs > Page Settings > Module Container and select Easy Container > …New Container. Update Module Settings.
3) You’ll be presented with a form to create a new container. Input a valid name and hit Create.
4) Now you should see a gray container, which is the Default. Located and click the Edit Container link at the bottom of the module.

You’re done! You’ve created your first container and now it’s time to create more, to reuse them and tweak them and enjoy the productivity boost!
Downgrade
If you try to add an older version of Easy Container over a newer one you will get the following error “A newer version of this package is already installed”.
1) To downgrade from a newer version to an older one, you need to uninstall the newer version. Go to Host -> Extension -> EasyContainer -> UnInstall this Extension.
2) Easy Container remains on the pages where it was added. All modules that were added must be manually removed or, if you want to keep the modules, you have to remove the container which was set on them - by going into the Settings of the module -> Page Settings -> Module Container -. set the option to None. In this way, no container will remain on any page. Once you have removed all the containers, go to Host -> Extension -> Containers -> EasyContainer -> UnInstall this Extension.
3) Add the desired version of Easy Container.
We make a note here regarding the upgrade from one version to another, when you have existing containers created with container options (we talk about the “Module Container” options from “Page Settings”), on an upgrade to a new Easy Grid version. the predefined containers will be overwritten. There is though a “create new container” option, and any container created from scratch will be saved and kept on upgrade. You’ll even get a warning message on the “What’s new” step informing you about the upgrade differences when you’ll install the new version of Easy Container.
