MultiColumn - Premium Feature
MultiColumn is used in document templates that require text to be lined up in columns side-by-side. You create your own template using this tool, too. Whether you are writing in the UK Stageplay template, Audio/Visual template, Virtual Reality template, or are looking to have a split-screen moment. Whatever your goal, MultiColumn can help you achieve it!
