Summary of the Columns Layout Element within the Editor

Updated over a month ago

The Columns Layout element in GetAccept’s editor allows you to structure content in a flexible, multi-column format. This feature is perfect for organizing text, images, or a combination of both into distinct columns, making your document more visually appealing and easy to navigate.


Steps to Add the Columns Layout Element

  1. Open the Editor Block: Navigate to the section where you want to add the columns layout.

  2. Click the Blue [ + ] Symbol: This will open a list of available elements.

  3. Select "Columns Layout": From the dropdown menu, click on Columns Layout to insert it into your document.


Customizing the Columns Layout

After adding the Columns Layout element, the Formatting Bar will appear at the top, providing several customization options:

  1. Choose the Content Type:

    • Decide whether each column should contain text, an image, or a combination of text and image.

    • You can mix and match these options across different columns for a dynamic layout.

  2. Add or Remove Columns:

    • Add additional columns by clicking the [ + ] icon, or remove columns if fewer are needed.

    • You can have multiple columns, adjusting based on the amount of content you wish to display.

  3. Move Columns:

    • Reorder columns by using the Move option to position them above or below other elements in the editor.

  4. Delete a Column:

    • Remove a specific column from the layout by selecting the Trash icon. This helps you quickly eliminate unnecessary sections of content.


Best Practices for Using the Columns Layout Element

  • Structure Content Clearly: Use the Columns Layout element to separate different sections of content, such as product descriptions, features, or client testimonials. This layout is especially useful for comparing options side-by-side.

  • Mix Images and Text: To create visually engaging documents, combine images and text in the columns. This works well for product images alongside their descriptions or pricing options with accompanying visuals.

  • Keep it Balanced: Ensure the content within each column is balanced to avoid a cluttered or uneven appearance.
