Cordial saludo.
Maravillosos cambios, pero ¿Cómo se implementan?
Por ejemplo, interesante lo de módulos adhesivos o estáticos a los lados mientras navegamos pero ¿Donde habilitarlo?
JoomShapper tiene el mejor marco de trabajo y actualiza cosas pero a veces necesita no solo informar sino explicar en si que hace y cómo se hace, debemos adivinar donde están esas nuevas funciones y aparte de eso y con algo de suerte saber cómo implementarlo.
Hola & thanks, and tomorrow I will update the Helix documentation. But a sticky option for the right and left columns you can find in Template Options > Layout > "Right" Column Options > Sticky: ON
@joomshaper team : I think, every time you add a new feature on helix or other SPPB or watever, you should add a small screen shot to show where the option/feature is located. could be very helpful.

Gracias por tener presente mis sugerencias.

I will wait for the documentation update because I honestly didn't see any option.
Thank you
Just like Yofie said, it's on the column settings.
En la fila, debo elegir el módulo a publicar y despues establecerlo en la posición derecha o izquierda se habilita la opción pegajosa.
Muchas gracias por su amable aclaración, ahora si, a divertirnos con esta clase de columnas pegajosas que tanto hacían falta en Helix Ultimate.
Picture would help!
