You can add anything from the Web Studio desktop (the area that displays your pages) to the My Stuff Gallery. You can add a group of objects as one graphic or you can add a group of objects as individual objects. This allows you to design a page layout (e.g. a header, sidebar, and footer along with a button set) and save the entire layout for quick addition to your next page. This provides you with all the benefits of HTML Frames without having to do any of the programming.
In addition this allows you to make your own text buttons, and saving them for future use. (See how to make a text button in the Space and Merge page!)
