FAQ
Q1: What should I do if the content displays incorrectly after using columns?
- Solution: The content width within columns will automatically adapt to the column width. If the content displays incorrectly, you can drag to adjust the width of each column, or drag the content block out of the column and rearrange it. Ensure that the size of the content within each column does not exceed the current column width.
Q2: Can I insert images into columns?
- Solution: Yes. Columns support inserting all content types supported by AirPage, including images, Sheets, code blocks, etc. Simply use the corresponding insert feature directly within the column area.
Q3: How do I delete columns?
- Solution: Place the cursor within the column area, select delete columns through the paragraph handle menu, or drag all content out of the column area using the mouse, and the columns will automatically disappear.
