You can choose the width depending on how many widget columns you want in a row.

For example: if you want three columns, then you would choose one-third (1/3). You can also upload an icon for your widget.

Once you have added the first row of your widget columns, you can drag and drop a divider widget from available widgets.

This divider widget allows you to start a new row of widgets within the same widget area.

This plugin comes with three types of dividers: .divider, .break, and .clear.

After you are done adding your widgets, you can preview your site to see your widgets in columns.
