It holds no cards. Add one the same way as any lane, from the **+ Add lane** picker under **BASIC LANES** (see [How to add and manage lanes](/journey-maps/lanes/how-to-add-and-manage-lanes.md)), then label and style the line to suit.
A journey map editor with a full-width black horizontal line labelled Dividing lane running between a Process grid lane above and an Emotion chart lane below. The divider has its own three-dot menu on the far left where the other lanes show their titles.

A divider lane separating two sections of a journey map

Because a divider holds no cards, its lane menu is shorter than a standard lane's. The three-dot menu carries **Pin lane**, **Edit divider**, **Duplicate lane below**, **Move lane up**, **Move lane down**, and **Delete lane**, with no card or clipboard actions. Everything specific to a divider is set in the **Edit divider lane** modal. #### How to label and style a divider lane Open the divider lane's three-dot menu and click **Edit divider** to open the **Edit divider lane** modal.
The Edit divider lane modal with a Text field reading Dividing lane, a Text size control offering 18, 20, and 24 with 20 selected, a Line style control offering solid and dashed with solid selected, a Line weight control offering thin and thick with thick selected, a black Color swatch, and Cancel and Save buttons.

Edit divider lane

The modal holds everything that defines the divider: * **Text** - the label shown on the line. Leave it blank for a plain line, or name the section it marks, for example a service-blueprint **Line of Visibility**. * **Text size** - 18, 20, or 24. * **Line style** - solid or dashed. * **Line weight** - thin or thick. * **Color** - the colour of the line and its label, set from the colour picker. Click **Save** to apply your changes, or **Cancel** to close the modal without changing the divider. #### Related topics
