Out of the box, the Visual Builder's interaction mode is Hover mode. To interact with any element in the layout, you will have to hover over that particular element to interact with it.
To change the default interaction mode, follow these steps:
Expand the Visual Builder settings bar by clicking on the three dots icon
Open the Builder Settings by clicking on the three vertical dots icon
Choose the preferred Interaction mode under Builder Default Interaction Mode.
Once the preferred view Interaction mode is changed, save the page to save the new selection.
Note: Next time any page/post/project/product is opened in Visual Builder, the preferred Interaction mode set at step 3 will be used instead of the default one, which is Hover mode.
