Use the column editor to change a column's background (color or image), add a border, or adjust the inner and outer spacing of the column. Use columns to organize and arrange the content in a row.

Important:

Before editing columns, create a backup of your site. This ensures that you will be able to restore a previous version of your site if you make a mistake. For more information about backing up your site, see Backup sites.
