While you are creating a message you may find it useful to separate the information within your message with rows and columns. Inserting rows and columns is a great way to achieve a desired look and layout that you may be trying for with your message. One great use for rows and columns is for aligning images that are inserted into your messages.
Please note that the instructions below are for messages created using our Drag & Drop Email Builder.

Note: The perforated lines that are inserted when adding columns and rows will not appear in the messages that you send out. They are only there while you are editing your message so you can see where the rows and columns are being inserted. - Once you have the desired number of columns/rows inserted you can start dragging and dropping in different blocks for content. Below you can see an example of a message that was created using additional columns and rows.
