The **`2 Columns`** element provides a quick way to add a full width two column layout to your page.
{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: The 2 Columns element has options preset to show the two columns for desktop screen sizes and a single column for all other screens.
{% endhint %}
This is a composite element made up of the following elements:
* 1 [Layout Container](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/layout-container.md)
* 1 [Layout Row](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/layout-row.md) inside the layout container.
* 2 [Layout Column](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/layout-column.md) elements inside the layout row.
* Example Text elements inside the layout columns.
The following element options options are preset:
* Layout Container set for full-width
* Layout Row set to center align horizontally and vertically.
* Layout Columns are set to use 100% width at the main setting and overridden to *Default* for the desktop screen size. So this will show a two column view for desktop and single column view for all other screen sizes.
* Layout Columns have a margin at the bottom by using the [Custom CSS Classes](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md#custom-css-classes) setting. For more information on adjusting the spacing see [Padding and Margin](/app-editor/page-editor/padding-and-margin.md).
Feel free to change the preset options and delete the example Text elements.
You may also add additional columns to the layout row by:
* Using the [Add Column](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/add-column.md) Element.
* [Cloning](/app-editor/page-editor/working-with-page-elements.md#clone-the-selected-element) one of the existing layout columns.
Additional rows can also be added by [cloning](/app-editor/page-editor/working-with-page-elements.md#clone-the-selected-element) the existing layout row.
