Containers and Columns are expandable spaces used to house other page elements together. You can place any page element inside a container or a column. It’s a powerful component that lets you divide the sections of a page into grid-like layouts. The difference between a Container and a Column is that a Container has only 1 expandable cell. Columns, on the other hand, can have 2 or more expandable cells side by side.
Add a Container or Column
To add a Container or a Column, click Add [+] Button on the top left corner in the Page Editor to slide the web page elements menu. Then simply drag the Container or Column element into the page you’re working on.
Add an Object inside a Container or Column
To add a page element inside a Column or Container, just drag the object over to the container / column.
