You can use it as-is, customise it to your liking, or remove it entirely and start fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Granular Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After setting up your template, you\u2019ll have access to several helpful options to fine-tune where and how the maintenance screen is displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"1180\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2025-06-20-at-12.10.17.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13467\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Display Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This section uses the\u00a0<strong>Conditional Module<\/strong>\u00a0to control where the template appears.
