Columns
Content can be organized in columns. View an example here.
To make columns, type “/” and search for ‘Columns’ (or click plus sign and search). You will get a screen like this:
Select which layout matches your needs best. To adjust the layout of the columns, you can select the outer box holding the columns and in the block options to the right of the screen add or subtract the number of columns.
By selecting a column, you can also adjust its size using different measurements like percentages and pixels using the settings on the right.
Content can be added into the column by dragging in existing content, or by clicking the plus sign inside the column and adding new content.

Sections
If you want a section of content to have a colored background (view example here), first add the “Section” block. If you want the background color to extend fullwidth while text having normal width, select the first layout.
Add a background color by going to Block options in the righthand menu > Style.
To add blocks to your section, select the section and click the “+” icon.
Add space above/below the section (margin), or inside the section (padding) by selecting the section and dragging out the edges up or down.

Hidden Styles
You may come across a case where you have copied something from another page or section, but when you paste it, it doesn’t look exactly the same. If that happens, make sure that, first, you didn’t miss anything, like the group or column that may have been holding it.
Another reason for this may be that the elements are sitting inside of a section or page that has specific CSS styling, so if you take these elements out of that section or page, the CSS stylesheet can no longer find them.
So if there’s something you wanted to copy but styles aren’t copying over, just let us know, and we’ll get that quickly fixed for you.
