> Arrange cards and other components in a responsive multi-column grid layout with the columns component, including customizable column counts.

The `Columns` component lets you arrange content in a responsive grid layout. It's most often used to put cards in a grid, by specifying the number of grid columns. You can also use the `Column` sub-component to wrap arbitrary content. Columns are responsive and automatically adjust for smaller screens.
