How to rearrange content
A row is a horizontal section on your page that contains content, such as images, text, a contact form, etc. When you open your website and want to edit it for the first time, it already contains some rows with content.
If you want to add more rows to a page, move your mouse pointer over an existing row and click + Add Row in the blue bar.
You can also add rows to your website's header and footer. In this case, the Add Row button appears in the magenta-colored areas.
Note: Updates in the magenta-colored header and footer sections will appear on all pages of the website to maintain design consistency.
It's easy to change, rearrange, copy, and delete rows – and to adjust their width, add animations, hide them in specific viewports, and much more. Read more about managing your rows here.
Columns are vertical "pillars" within a row that contain modules (your content). Within a row, you can have up to 12 columns to organize your content.
Columns make it easier for you to divide your content within a row while ensuring everything is structured and aligned so you can easily keep track and work with it.
If you want to add another column next to an existing one, click on the column and select Add Column from the dropdown menu (More).

Working with empty columns: A column doesn't necessarily have to contain modules. You can add empty columns on both sides of a column with content to ensure it's centered in the row and has equal space on both sides. An empty column can also simply be added to create space between two content elements on your website.
Modules are placed within columns and contain your website's actual content. Depending on the content, you can add different types of modules. Text goes into the Text module, images into the Image module, contact forms into the Form module, etc.
You add a new module by hovering your mouse pointer over either an empty column or an existing module on your website and selecting + Add Module. More information about the individual module types can also be found in the Helpdesk.
After you've added some content to your website, you might want to arrange, move, and delete it differently. You can easily duplicate, copy, or delete rows/columns/modules using the corresponding dropdown menus. If you want to move rows/columns/modules to other places on your page, you can drag them using the dotted icon next to the tabs. Learn more about arranging content here.
