Helpful Hint!
To get ALL of the content of a section to display in a singular bordered Breakout Left/ Right block section, every block in the section has to have the same Layout Style applied.

Adding Sections
When working with an empty layout, the first step is to add a Section.
Sections are the top-level building blocks of Page Layouts.
Layout Builder comes with four Section Layouts: One Column, (which also contains Tab Sections and Accordion Sections), and Two Column. The Sections themselves cannot be re-ordered, but Blocks can be moved between different sections. Additional Sections can be added above and below any existing Section.
CMS users must configure the individual Tabs and Accordions as part of the Section Configuration. For detailed instructions on adding Accordion and Tab Sections in Layout Builder, see below:
Editing Sections
You can change the properties of any Section by clicking the link Configure Section just above the link. Please note if you change between Tab, Accordion or Default Section while that section already has block content in it, you may lose that content
