# Form Layout The **Layout** tab provides tools to visually arrange the components of your form. By default, components are stacked **vertically**. The layout tools allow you to customize this structure by using **containers** that define flexible layouts. These containers can hold other containers or components, enabling highly customizable form designs. To add a container, drag it from the panel and drop it into the **Design** tab interface at the desired location. Guide lines will appear to help you place the container in valid positions. This approach allows you to create an infinite variety of simple or complex layouts.


Horizontal	This container creates a row in which multiple components or containers can be placed side by side.
Vertical	This container creates a column, where components or containers are arranged one above the other.
Group	This container allows you to group components or containers, helping to structure long or complex forms. Click the group container to set a title in the Properties section.
Tab	This container lets you create tabs to better organize forms with many components. Tabs can be placed inside other containers. Click the tab container to edit its default title in the Properties section.
Space	This container adds spacing between two components or containers, useful for improving the visual clarity of the layout.
