The quickest way to add a new Hero is either to add a preset starter component (mostly from the "CTA" tab) or to use the Quick Add Element dropdown at the bottom of the plugin to insert a new blank Hero layer to your email design, when your Emailify email Figma frame is selected.
This will add a brand new empty Hero layer with a placeholder background image fill set on it.
You can then start populating it with content layers and customizing the styles (eg. adding a background, adjusting padding and spacing, etc) in Figma as needed.
If you need to use a background image for more than one column of content, you can also add background images to any ๐ฃ Row or ๐ Wrapper layers, too.
๐ฆธ Hero elements can only be added directly inside of โ๏ธ Email layers. ๐ฆธ Hero elements cannot contain any ๐๏ธ Column layers, as it doesn't support multiple column layouts; instead, content layers are added directly inside of the frame, without needing any ๐๏ธ Column layers (unlike a ๐ฃ Row element).
