# Component Section Toolbar

A new section is created each time you drag and drop a component from the left sidebar onto the canvas.  

As you mouseover each section on your email template, the section will glow blue to indicate the total area size of the section being used by the component(s) within that section.

When you use the  columns component, the section containing columns will now have multiple components in the same section, with one component per column.  

A Component inside of a column will glow purple.
