### Stack content blocks vertically in Ultra Documents

> Instructors can stack blocks in a single column in Documents to create cleaner layouts and reduce whitespace. A new toggle in the block toolbar lets you switch between column-level and block-level editing. In column mode, actions apply to the entire column. In block mode, instructors can resize, move, or delete individual blocks.
> 
> 
> Columns can also be dropped into another block’s area for more flexible layouts. These changes work with existing features such as undo/redo, printing, and AI layout generation. This enhancement also includes accessibility improvements for screen readers.

For example on this image you will see three blocks of content in two columns:

![content_blocks](https://cdn.document360.io/8ea693b1-555d-4973-acf4-f29e9965c563/Images/Documentation/content_blocks.PNG)

To move the blocks around, you could use these options:

1. Use the waffle icon and options to move your blocks of content around.
2. Remember that you can also ask the [AI Design Assistant](/v1/docs/ai-design-assistant) move the blocks around.
