Columns

Columns creates a layout of Column child elements. Use it when each column needs its own content and design settings within a coordinated row.

  2. Add or select the Column children inside Columns.
  3. Configure Design > Layout, including the column arrangement and responsive behavior.
  4. Add content inside each Column, then set the Columns Size and Spacing.
  5. Save your changes.

Troubleshooting

I cannot insert ordinary content directly into Columns

Put the content inside a Column child. Columns coordinates its Column elements.

The columns do not stack at the expected width

Check the layout's responsive settings and test the width at which the row should become vertical.
