How to Add a new Column inside a Container

Open the document editor and select the container (row) where you want the new column. Use the container controls or right‑click/context menu to insert a column into that container. After the column appears, drag and drop content blocks into the new column and use the editor's layout controls to fine‑tune width, padding, and alignment.

This workflow is available in QuoteCloud's document editor and is designed to speed up building proposals and quotes in your sales quoting software or proposal software environment.

Most block types work inside a column: text, images, videos, GIFs and many interactive elements can be added and arranged normally. Use the editor's drag‑and‑drop to place these blocks where you need them.

Note that some block types—such as pricing tables and PDFs—are restricted and cannot be placed inside a column (see next question for details).

Pricing tables are designed to occupy an entire row (container) because they often include tabular data and interactivity that require full-width layout and separate styling. For the same reason, PDF blocks must be added as a new page rather than embedded inside a column.

If you need a layout that looks like a table next to other content, consider using text and image blocks inside columns and linking to a full-row pricing table or a separate PDF page.

To resize columns, hover between adjacent columns to reveal the drag handle and then drag to change the width. For alignment inside each column, open the editor's layout or style controls to set vertical alignment, text alignment, padding and margins.

These controls let you fine‑tune spacing independently for each column so your proposals and quote documents look consistent and professional in your sales proposal software or quote software.

Yes. Save the column group as a reusable content item in your content library. Give it a clear name and category so you can quickly find and insert the same multi‑column structure into other documents and templates.

Reusing saved column layouts is a big time‑saver when producing repeatable sales proposals or when using quote software to maintain consistent branding and layout across quotes.

Keep column widths simple and consistent, use padding and margins to create visual breathing room, and avoid placing full‑row items (like pricing tables or PDFs) inside columns. Name and categorize reusable column groups so your team can apply consistent layouts across proposals and quotes.

Also preview your document in different sizes to ensure columns remain readable and that interactive elements work as expected in your sales quoting software or sales proposal software.

First confirm you have the correct container selected and that the block you're trying to add is allowed inside a column (pricing tables and PDFs are not supported inside columns). Try hovering between columns to reveal the drag handle for resizing. If drag handles or drop targets are unresponsive, reload the editor or clear your browser cache.

If the issue persists, export a screenshot and contact support for your quote software or proposal software so they can investigate further.
