Flexgrid as Master Page Footer?

Is there a way to use a flexgrid as the footer on a master page? This would be helpful because of the "flexibility" it provides in configuring the footer for different breakpoints. Sometimes the layout grid configured to "footer floating" isn't sufficient.

I'm sorry, that is not possible. The flexgrid was not designed for this purpose.

If you are using the flexgrid in a normal floating layout, why couldn't it be the last thing on the page (aka footer)?

I have done that in the past, Crispy, but on a site with a dozen or more pages it means making many changes. The master page simplifies making site-wide changes, as you well know. It can be done with the layout grid, but sometimes there are nuances that would make flexgrid a big advantage, especially with breakpoints.

Thanks for the answer, Pablo. Who knows, maybe WB20 in early 2025 (or a bit later) will offer a solution. Meanwhile, biting my nails waiting for a WB19 release date.

Why can't it be used this way? Use a master frame.

Simply use a content placeholder instead and use the flexgrid below that as the footer.

Thanks for that suggestion, Crispy! Looks like an excellent solution.
