Create a column group with the [column-group] shortcode, then add columns to the group with the [column] shortcode, like this:
[column-group]
[column]This is my first column[/column]
[column]This is my second column[/column]
[/column-group]
By default, each column will span 6 out of 12 columns. You can specifically define column span, like this:
[column-group]
[column span="3"]This is my first column spanned across 3 columns.[/column]
[column span="9"]This is my second column spanned across 9 columns.[/column]
[/column-group]
