# Text columns with images
The **Text columns with images** displays multiple columns of text blocks with feature images, great for highlighting your values, how your company works, or explaining key elements of your product.
## Set up section
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can [create new templates](/spark/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md#create-and-assign-multiple-templates) or [insert dynamic content with metafields](/spark/general/adapting-your-theme/dynamic-content-with-metafields.md).
{% endhint %}
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Select a **Template** to edit from the dropdown menu in the top bar.
> Learn how to use templates in our [Templates guide](/spark/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md).
2. Under **Template**, click **(+) Add section** and select **Text columns with images**.
3. Click and hold the drag-and-drop handles **`⋮⋮`** to re-order your sections.
### Add column blocks
Add multiple **Columns** with a featured image, headings, and a call-to-action button.
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Click **(+) Add Column** and/or click on the Column block you wish to edit.
2. Under *Image*, click **Select image** to upload an image or icon to display at the top of the column.
> We recommend a 160px x 160px **`.png`** image and that all images are the same shape and size.
> If you would like to add an icon, there are plenty of sites that offer high-quality icons in many styles, like [The Noun Project](https://thenounproject.com/) and [Iconfinder](https://www.iconfinder.com/).
3. Change the **Heading** text.
> We recommended a short title of just a few words.
4. Change the **Subheading** text.
> We recommend two to three short sentences.
> We also recommend trying to keep the subheading text for all Columns around the same length.
5. Adjust the **Max width of text** of the Column text using the slider.
> The width will need to be adjusted when there are two columns per row on desktop.
> Experiment with this setting to find a clean visual shape for your text.
6. Add a **Button label** and **Button link** to display a call-to-action button underneath the column.
> The most effective button labels ask customers to do something (e.g. Get started, Join us, Shop now). To learn more, [read "What is a Call to Action?"](https://www.thebalancesmb.com/call-to-action-1794380)
> The button uses the theme-wide button color set in the Theme settings
7. (*Optional*.) Click and hold the drag handles **`⋮⋮`** to rearrange the blocks:
> Click **Remove block** in the block settings to delete a block.
> Click the **Eye icon** to hide or unhide a block.
