Groups & Columns

Groups and Columns are blocks that will help structure your content. These blocks will provide the flexibility and layout options to create your page/post.

Group Block

The purpose of this block is used to group multiple blocks together in a container. Grouping a block together gives you the option to apply specific styles or layout to a set of blocks collectively.

To add a Group Block, add it from the block library. You can find it under the Design category.
