The first thing you will want to do is select the Parent menu item you wish to edit then check the checkbox Mega Menu
When you have done this, simply click the Add New Row button and its layout will load, ready for you to work with.
Now you can choose the column structure (it's based on Bootstrap columns grid) - you can use a pre-defined grid columns layout or create your own (Custom).
Anytime you would be able to delete or redesign layout structure by using icons on the top right position.
You can also change the order of columns content - hover on the column name until you would see a two-direction arrow icon then you can move the column to the left or ride side, later save settings to see changes.
