I’m playing around with the new dashboard sections.
According to my information button-cards should be updated to fit in the sections but they aren’t.
Am i doing something wrong ?
I am also trying to copy/paste a button-card to a new Sections view but I get this message at the bottom of the card:
Visual editor not supported
The visual editor is not available for this type of element.
You can still edit your config using YAML.
and I don’t the 3 tabs (Config / Visibility / Layout) when editing this card.
So I cannot resize the card for instance 
Do you mean a stock Button card or a custom:button-card?
The official Blog meant the stock one.
custom:button-card like this:
type: custom:button-card
entity: input_boolean.mail_present
layout: icon_label
icon: mdi:mailbox
label: |
[[[
var status = states["input_boolean.mail_present"].state;
var arrivalDate = entity.state == 'on' ? states["input_datetime.mail_arrived"].state.split(' ')[1] : '';
return arrivalDate === '' ? 'No mail' : arrivalDate;
]]]
show_state: false
show_label: true
show_name: false
styles:
card:
- "--mdc-ripple-color": yellow
- "--mdc-ripple-press-opacity": 0.5
icon:
- color: |
[[[
if (entity.state === 'on') return 'yellow';
else return 'white';
]]]
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: |
[[[
if (entity.state == 'off')
return 'input_boolean.turn_on';
else
return 'input_boolean.turn_off';
]]]
service_data:
entity_id: input_boolean.mail_present
This is a custom card which may not be adapted to sections yet.
Try card-modding:
- type: grid
cards:
- type: button
entity: switch.test_switch
name: stock
- type: custom:button-card
entity: switch.test_switch
name: custom - default
layout_options:
grid_columns: 2
grid_rows: 2
- type: custom:button-card
entity: switch.test_switch
name: custom - modded
layout_options:
grid_columns: 2
grid_rows: 2
styles:
card:
- height: 100%
card_mod:
style: |
:host {height: 100% !important}
- type: button
entity: switch.test_switch
name: stock

Correct, it’s the stock Button card that is supported.
Do you think the custom button card will be adapted in a future version ?
No idea… It depends on it’s author.
Meanwhile you may use card-mod (+ re-using a code by “include”, “!secret”, “yaml-anchors”), card-mod-themes, button-card-template.
