For on-trend design, add coloured backgrounds and image backgrounds to blocks within your stack using Column Settings and Width & Spacing design controls.

Stacks are the building blocks of the website, providing a base on which content can be added and customised to create visually appealing content. For more information on stacks, head to the Stack Specific Styling help guide.

Column Settings

If you're not seeing the Column Settings drop down tab > See how to get access.

The Column Settings menu will show a grid of columns, a picture background upload button and a column background colour picker. By selecting a colour or image, the background of the column you've highlighted (shown by the blue outline) will be changed.

In Column Settings, you're able to:

1. Add an image to the background of your column.
2. Add a colour background to your column background. This applies to both text and image blocks.
