How to add content in the Elementor Popup Builder?

Here you’ll find four types of popups –
Modal Popup – For creating standard popups.
Reveal Content – For creating reveal content type popups, in this type of popup, the entire content will be pushed along with the popup while opening and closing.
Corner Box – For creating small popups at the corner of your page.
