Laying out your page
Most of the pages in these templates are laid out using a grid.
Essentially, you will be laying out your pages in a series of rows. You can put all of your content into a single one-column row. Or you can break it up into many multi-column rows..
To create your first row on a page, select your desired layout from the Add a Row prompt at the top of your blank page.
To add content to that row, click on the "Add Content" link, and choose the desired content from the popup menu.
These options will vary with the size of your column. For example: you cannot put an accordion or a program card inside of a small-column. You cannot put a person card in a full-page-width column.
Content Card

Person Card

Accordion

The DocType Grid Editor
This is a new feature that you can use to insert card type content into your grid. (We will be expanding it to allow for more complex doctypes in the coming months.)
At the moment, you can use it to easily insert a content card into your grid. More implementations will be developed.
To insert a content card directly into your grid:
1. create a four-column row.
2. In a column, click on the "Add Content" link.
3. Click on the "DocType" icon.
4. A panel will open on the right allowing you to enter all of the card details.
5. Click save.
