Columns layout in the Editor

Learn how the Columns layout works in the GetAccept Editor to organize content into multiple columns.

May 7, 2026

Overview

The Columns template lets you organize content into multiple columns in the GetAccept Editor. It is available wherever the Editor is used, including Contracts, Deal Rooms, and templates.

Columns are commonly used to present text, images, or mixed content side by side, making documents easier to scan, compare, and visually structure. You can also choose a display preset that matches the orientation of your images, so visuals look right whether they are wide or tall.

What you can do with the Columns template

With the Columns template, you can:

• Arrange content into multiple columns
• Combine text, images, or both within a single layout
• Add, remove, and reorder columns as needed
• Control how images are displayed inside columns
• Choose between Landscape and Portrait display presets for image-based layouts
• Adjust layouts as content changes

Column content types

Each column can be configured with one of the following content types:

• Text only
• Image only
• Image and text

Different content types can be combined across columns within the same layout.

Image behavior in columns

Images used inside a Columns template support the same image editing behavior as other images in the editor.

This includes:

• Cropping images to focus on specific areas
• Repositioning images within a fixed frame
• Previewing changes in real time before saving

Image cropping and repositioning are available when using Image only or Image and text column types.

These options are not available for Text only columns.

Landscape and Portrait display presets

When configuring a Columns layout, you can choose between two display presets to match your image orientation:

• Landscape - optimized for wide images
• Portrait - optimized for tall (vertical) images

These presets are available only when the column content type is set to Image only or Image and text. The presets do not appear when Text only is selected.

Choosing the right preset helps your images look balanced and consistent within the layout, without needing to crop or resize them in an external tool.

Managing columns

You can modify a Columns layout at any time by:

• Adding or removing columns
• Reordering columns to change layout structure
• Deleting the entire layout if it is no longer needed

These changes do not affect other content in the document.
