Column layouts let you place blocks next to each other in your email. You can use them to create multi-column designs, compare content side by side, or build more complex visual arrangements.

Adding a Column Layout

There are two ways to create a column layout:
  • Drag and drop: Drag a block next to an existing block in the canvas. A column layout is created automatically.
  • Add block menu: Select a layout option from the add block menu to insert a pre-configured column structure.

Layout Options

Flowforth offers five column layouts: Each column can contain one or multiple blocks of any type. You can mix and match text, images, buttons, and other blocks within a single column.

Spacing Controls

Column Gap

The column gap controls the horizontal space between columns. Adjustable from 0 to 40px, with a default of 16px.

Block Gap

The block gap controls the vertical space between blocks stacked within the same column. Adjustable from 0 to 40px, with a default of 15px.

Swap Columns

For two-column layouts, click the swap button to switch the positions of the left and right columns. This is a quick way to flip your layout without moving blocks manually.

Mobile Stacking

The Mobile setting controls how columns behave on smaller screens:
  • Left on top (default): columns stack, each full width, in order from left to right, top to bottom.
  • Right on top: columns stack in reverse order, so the rightmost column appears first. For example, in an image-on-the-right layout this keeps the image above its text on phones. Desktop layout is unaffected.
  • Keep Columns: columns stay next to each other at every screen size.

Tips

  • Use the 1-column layout when you want a shared background image that spans across multiple blocks. Apply the background image in the column’s block settings.
  • Keep three-column layouts simple. On mobile, three stacked sections can get long, so shorter content works best.
  • Use column and block gap settings together to fine-tune the overall density of your layout.
