### Adding and Customizing Quick Stack in Webflow

Now that you have a basic understanding of Quick Stack, it is time to apply it in Webflow. Follow these simple steps to integrate and customize Quick Stack on your site:

#### Step 1: Open the Webflow Designer

To get started, log in to your Webflow account and **open the designer**. Make sure you have selected the project in which you want to use Quick Stack.

#### Step 2: Add a Quick Stack Element to Your Canvas

In the toolbar located on the left side of the interface, click on the "**Add Element**" icon. Then, search for the "Quick Stack" option in the list of available elements. **Drag and drop** the element into your project.

#### Step 3: Choose Your Quick Stack Structure

Once you have added the Quick Stack element, a menu of **presets** will appear, allowing you to choose the **structure of your choice**. Browse through the different options and select the one that best matches your layout vision.

#### Adjusting Row and Column Sizes

Adjusting the **size** of rows and columns in Quick Stack is **simple and powerful**. By default, each column has a size of **1 FR**, ensuring a fair distribution of available space. Rows are set to "**auto**", allowing the cells to automatically adjust to their content.

But that’s not all! You can also set **minimum (min) and maximum (max)** values for rows and columns, just like you would with grids. By entering Edit mode, you can click on the header of a row or column to access the context menu and specify min and max values for precise size adjustments.

![Customizing Quick Stack Cell Size Webflow](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67053868fc01e494462e71c9/671165d9312971a9f7425cab_648c1d8dbe88fa270a93f1cd_ajustement-taille-cellule-quick-stack-webflow.webp)

This means you have full control over the layout of your content. You can create larger or smaller sections **by setting limits**, allowing you to achieve a **harmonious and tailored presentation**.

With Quick Stack's sizing feature in Webflow, you can easily design **flexible and responsive** layouts while providing an **optimal user experience**.

‍

In conclusion, by integrating Quick Stack into your Webflow skillset, you'll be able to design **modern and dynamic layouts with ease**.
