# Column

The column block is a unique [`columns`](/blocks/columns.md) block child. It acts like the div block and offers the same customisations.

{% hint style="info" %}
It cannot exist on its own but is included in an added columns block.
{% endhint %}

## Add

Column blocks are automatically added when you select a Columns layout in the Layout Panel.

Column blocks can also be added from the Block Inspector when you select a Columns block.
