The **`Layout Container`** element plays an important role when it comes to designing your page. Many other built-in elements make use of the layout container and related elements like [Layout Row](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/layout-row.md) and [Layout Column](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/layout-column.md) inside them.

The layout container contains one or more layout row elements, with each row containing one or more layout column elements.

The example below shows a layout container (Container27) with two layout rows (Row26 and Row28).  The Row26 layout row has three layout columns and the Row28 layout row has two. (See the page tree view image for spotting these elements).
