If you want to display elements side by side, you can use the container block. This block is often used with input blocks or for building landing pages, since it can help categorize sections on your page.

  2. Drag the desired blocks into the container

  3. Adjust the layout of the container

  4. Add a background color or image (optional)

  5. Just publish your heyflow, and you’re good to go!
