# Empty Canvas & Sections

When your canvas is empty you'll see two CTAs: **Add New Section** (blank) and **Browse Templates** (picks a starting layout).

Once a section exists, the right sidebar shows the **Page Structure** tree: every section, column, and component in your layout.

Each section has three settings tabs in the sidebar:

- **Content**: Section name, column count (1–5), and column distribution (50/50, 67/33, etc.)
- **Style**: Background (solid / gradient / image / video), border, shadow
- **Spacing**: Padding on each side with linked-toggle option

💡The **"+ Add new section"** button always appears at the very bottom of the canvas. You can add as many sections as you need. There's no limit.
