The columns block is a unique block that allows you to create fresh and extensive layouts without a single line of code.

The columns block allows you to organise your content ([`column`](/blocks/column.md) block) in a powerful CSS grid. With the CSS grid, you can position and size blocks anywhere to produce repeatable, responsive layouts.

The `columns` block only accepts [`column`](/blocks/column.md) blocks as inner children.
