After adding the Custom section, you can customize its settings in the right sidebar.
Layout
Layout: Select the column grid system to be used for arranging content within the section.
10 column: Uses a 10-column grid system. This means the total available width of the section will be divided into 10 equal parts, allowing for lower-resolution content arrangement or asymmetric layouts.
12 column: Uses a 12-column grid system. This is the most common and flexible grid system, allowing content to be divided in various ways (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 6 equal columns) and creating more complex layouts.
Spacing item
Spacing between items: Adjusts the distance between elements in a list or grid on desktop screens, creating a clear and visually appealing layout.
