To add rows:

Drag and drop a row to your email.

On the Rows tab, select the Row Background Color. This is the color outside of your content area.

To change the row layout, in the Layout section, select an option:
Vertical Align — Align content blocks in multi-column rows by the Top, Middle, or Bottom axis.
Stack on Mobile — By default, columns stack vertically on mobile devices so your email is easier to read on small screens. You can turn this option Off if your design works better on mobile devices without stacking.
Stack Order on Mobile — Reverse the stack order if your design works better reversed on mobile devices.
Hide On — Hide this row on desktop or mobile devices.
