Columns

Arrange content side-by-side to create scannable, visually structured docs.
You can use columns to place content side-by-side. Using columns can be helpful for:
  • comparing options
  • building compact summaries
  • giving long documents a more structured and scannable layout

Adding columns

You can create up to 4 columns across the page width.

Using the /column command

Type /column and choose between 2, 3, or 4 columns. An empty column layout will be added to your doc, ready for you to fill in.

Using drag and drop

    Hover over the block you want to move and click the ⋮⋮ handle to its left.
    Drag the block to the left or right edge of another block.
    Drop it when you see the blue guide line appear.

Resizing and rearranging columns

You can resize columns by hovering over the edge between them and dragging the vertical blue line that appears.
To move a column, hover over its first line, then click and hold the three-dot handle that appears above. Drag to move the column, then let go when it's in place.

Removing columns

To remove a column, hover over it and use the handle that appears at the top to drag its content into another column or outside the layout. You will see a horizontal blue line appear when dragging a column outside the layout.
If you want to undo the column layout entirely, repeat until you're back to a single column.

Red Question MarkFAQ

What kind of content can I put in columns?

Any block type: text, lists, images, hints, tables, and everything you can add with the / command.
Columns work best with short, self-contained blocks rather than long paragraphs.

My columns look too cramped. What can I do?

If you're working with 3 or more columns, switch to a wider editor view so your content has more room. To switch to a wider editor for your current doc, click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner, then select Edit Layout > Make Editor Wider.
You can also use headings inside each column to label sections and make the layout easier to scan.

When should I avoid using columns?

Skip columns when your content needs the full page width (like wide tables or large images), or when the document is short enough that a single column reads fine.
