I was trying to create columns using the column control component in AEM. It is not having a documentation and the component is not working as expected. How to solve this issue?

Is there any way to divide the site into a 3 column layout using any of the components in the editable template? suppose I want to divide the page as in the layout below how should be the coding done? Appreciate the help at the earliest.

col1 with some contents	col2 with some contents	col3 with some contents

see the below code-snippet.

<h1>Hello World!</h1>

<p>Resize the browser window to see the effect.</p>

<p>The columns will automatically stack on top of each other when the screen is less than 768px wide.</p>

</div>

check this link :::: Tryit Editor v3.6

now put the parys in replace of content written in bold.

<div data-sly-resource="${'par1' @ resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/parsys'}"></div>

</div>

What is the CSS framework you are using foryour FE ? is it bootstrap ? If so you can create a custom component something like Creating a custom Touch UI Grid Component for Adobe Experience Manager

In this case, I will go with bootstrap because it is also helpful for responsive design.

while creating a col-cntrl you can also put the parsys there using specific div. so parsys will also behave like that.

Check this article, here we have used the Tab component. so it is also responsive we have used the bootstrap here.

Make sure you have all the bootstrap related css and JS included in your page . Then this component will work like magic.
