# Try another layout

> Rearrange a section's images and text in one click, without retyping anything.

Any Container or Columns block in the email builder is a section. **Try another layout** shows the same content of that section arranged in different ways, and applies the one you pick.

## Change a section's layout

**1. Select the section**

Click a Container or Columns block on the canvas. Click its edge if a block inside it gets selected instead.

**2. Open the layouts**

Click the **Try another layout** button in the toolbar on the right of the section. A strip opens with a thumbnail of each layout that fits.

**3. Preview and apply**

Hover over a thumbnail to see that layout on the canvas. Click it to apply. Press **Undo** to go back.

## The layouts

| Layout | What it does | Offered when the section has |
| - | - | - |
| Image left | The first image in one column, everything else beside it | an image and text |
| Image right | The same, mirrored | an image and text |
| Heading beside text | The first block in one column, the rest beside it | two or more text blocks and no image |
| Button beside text | The words on the left, the button on the right | a button and other text, and no image |
| Stacked | Everything in one column, the image first | anything |
| Card | Stacked inside an inset card with rounded corners, the canvas showing around it | anything |
| Outlined | Stacked, inside a thin border | anything, when the section's background is light or none |
| Image grid | The text on top, the images two or three to a row | two or more images |
| Alternating rows | Each image beside the text that follows it, switching sides on each row | two or more images and two or more text blocks |

A layout that doesn't fit the content is not shown, and neither is one that would look the same as the section does now or the same as another layout in the list. A section with no blocks inside it shows no button.

## What stays the same

Only the arrangement changes. Every text, heading, button and image block keeps its words, links, styles, **Show to** rules and phone settings. The section keeps its own **Show to**, **On phones** and **Advanced** settings and its background color.

A block inside the section that has its own **Show to**, phone or **Advanced** setting moves as one piece, so its rule stays with it.

Card and Outlined use the theme's card and border colors when the section has no background of its own.

Columns stack on phones as they do everywhere else in the builder.
