# Build multi-column layouts

> Place blocks side by side by dragging them next to each other, and fine tune each column.

Place blocks side by side, for example a photo of your team next to a quiz, or a headline next to a form. By default, blocks stack one above the other. You do not pick a layout from a menu. You create columns by dragging a block next to another block.

**Before you start**, you need:

* A funnel page that already has the blocks you want to place side by side. Add them first, because blocks you add from the **"Content"** tab go on the page, not inside a column. See [Add and arrange blocks](/funnels/layout-blocks).

## Important to note

<Warning>
  * Columns share the width equally. You cannot make one column wider than another.
  * A row holds up to 6 columns. On a computer, 3 columns fit side by side and extra columns wrap to a new line. On a tablet, 2 fit. On a phone, columns stack one above the other, in the order you see them, so every block stays readable.
</Warning>

## Put blocks side by side

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the block you want to move">
    Click the block on your canvas. A small toolbar appears at its right with the **=** icon (**Drag to reorder**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Drag it to the edge of another block">
    1. Click and hold the **=** icon.
    2. Drag toward the left or right edge of the block you want it next to. A blue line and a **+ Add column** label appear at the edge where the new column will go.
    3. Let go. The two blocks now sit side by side, each in its own column.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add more columns">
    To add a third column, drag another block to the left or right edge of the row. To move a block into a column that already exists, drag its **=** icon onto that column. The column highlights when it is ready to receive the block. You can also drag a block out of a column to the main page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fine tune a column">
    Click a block inside the column, then click **"Column"** in the path at the top of the left panel to select the column itself. You can then change:

    * **Top**, **Center** or **Bottom** to line up the blocks inside the column when a neighbor column is taller.
    * **Rounded** or **Square** corners.
    * **Gap between blocks**, the space between blocks stacked in the column.
    * **Color**, to give the column its own background color.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Check it on every screen and publish">
    Use the device button at the right side of the canvas to switch between **Desktop**, **Tablet** and **Mobile**. Then click **"Publish Funnel"** at the top right.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Keep side by side layouts simple. Two columns, such as an image and a short form, read well on every device. Test your page on **Mobile**, where the columns stack.
</Tip>

## Understand the path at the top of the left panel

When you select a block inside a column, the left panel shows a path such as **Container**, **Column**, **Quiz**. Click any name to select that level.

* **Container** is the whole row of columns.
* **Column** is one column of the row.
* The last name is the block itself, for example **Quiz** or **Text**.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I do not see the + Add column label">
    Start the drag from the **=** icon on the selected block, then move slowly toward the left or right edge of another block. The blue line and label appear when you are close to the edge.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My columns are not the same height or the blocks do not line up">
    Columns in a row stretch to the tallest one. Select a shorter column and choose **Top**, **Center** or **Bottom** to line up its blocks.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I have an empty column I do not want">
    Empty columns stay on the page as a dashed placeholder until you delete them. Click the empty column to select it and click the trash icon on its toolbar. Or drag a block into it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I need more than 6 blocks side by side">
    A row holds up to 6 columns. Start a new row by adding your next block below the row.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
