# Form Layout The **Layout** tab provides tools for visually organizing form components within the form space. By default, components are stacked vertically. The layout tools allow you to customize this arrangement by inserting **containers** that define flexible structures. These containers can themselves contain other containers or components, providing great freedom in form design. To add a container, drag it from the panel into the **Design** tab interface, then drop it at the desired location. Guide lines appear to indicate valid drop zones. Using this system, you can create an unlimited number of layouts, simple or complex.

Container	Description
Horizontal	Creates a row in which you can place multiple components or containers side by side.
Vertical	Creates a column where components or containers are arranged one above the other.
Group	Groups components or other containers to structure long or complex forms. Click the group to define a title in the Properties section.
Tab	Adds tabs to efficiently organize forms containing many components. Tabs can be placed inside other containers. Click a tab to edit its default title in the Properties section.
Space	Inserts an empty space between two components or containers, useful for adding visual breathing room to the layout.
