Hello everyone :wave:

You can now use Block Containers to group blocks in side-by-side columns for more flexible and visually appealing layouts — perfect for displaying dashboards, account details, summary pages, and more.

Key features:

  • Multiple Column Layouts: Choose from predefined and responsive layouts, including 2-, 3-, and 4-column arrangements.
  • Seamless Block Integration: Add supported blocks like Charts, Summary Cards, Lists, and more into your chosen container layout.
  • Customizable Appearance: Set titles, adjust alignment, and tweak blocks within the container to suit your style.
  • Easy Block Management: Move blocks in and out of containers without losing existing settings.

Love to see it :rocket:

@Jjenglert @gedastava This is a great step forward for Softr!

We’re starting to explore the containers vs the custom code columns we currently use and what we’re finding is there are container settings for top/bottom padding but there aren’t any settings for left/right padding so we end up with a lot of wasted space in the margins.

See attached example.

Absolutely love this development!! I echo the need for side padding editing.

Also, the cards on the grid list look much bigger when placed inside a container. It would be great to keep them nice and small so that more can fit into the space. At the moment, I can only get three in per row.

OMG I love you guys, thank you for this! :smile:

Just as a follow up to anyone else interested in the left/right padding issue…

I met with Artur and they are looking at fixing this so that all blocks line up with each other and the margin padding is removed.

Great idea! How do they look on mobile?

Will more static blocks also be working in these containers soon?
These would be great for creating menus on dashboards, but static blocks seem to not be supported.
