What are the three different layouts on a page?

• A. Sections, Columns, Card Layouts
• B. Headers, Footers, Widgets
• C. Rows, Grids, Panels
• D. Tabs, Sidebars, Cards

Answer: (A)

In Appian-style page design, content is typically organized using three main layout containers: sections, columns, and card layouts. Sections group related components under a labeled block, helping readers scan and understand content quickly. Columns arrange components horizontally, enabling a grid-like, side-by-side presentation that adapts as the page width changes. Card layouts wrap content in distinct, visually cohesive panels, often with headers and actions, which makes dashboards and summaries easy to skim.

These three together cover how you structure, align, and emphasize content on a page. Other elements like headers/footers or widgets are useful page pieces, and while rows, grids, panels, tabs, sidebars, or individual cards can appear in designs, they don’t describe the exact trio of layout containers in the same way.
