+You can also use DropZones in the `root` render function to change the default layout. See [Root DropZones](#root-dropzones)

 ## Fixed layouts
 
 Combine multiple DropZones to achieve fixed layouts. By default, components inside a DropZone are arranged along the vertical (`block`) axis.

+## Root DropZones
+
+The `root` uses a DropZone internally. When providing a render function to `root`, the `children` prop renders a DropZone for a zone called **default-zone**.
+
+```tsx showLineNumbers copy {4-5}
+const config = {
+  root: {
+    render: ({ children }) => {
+      // children renders <DropZone zone="default-zone" />
+      return <div>{children}</div>;
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+Instead of rendering children, use DropZone to achieve multi-column layouts at the root:
+
+```tsx showLineNumbers copy {4-7}
+const config = {
+  root: {
+    render: () => (
+      <div style={{ display: "grid", gridTemplateColumns: "1fr 1fr", gap: 16 }}>
+        <DropZone zone="left-column" />
+        <DropZone zone="right-column" />
+      </div>
+    ),
+  },
+};
+```

+When passing **default-zone** to a DropZone in the root render function, the component data will be stored under [`content`](/docs/api-reference/data#content). Otherwise, the component data will be stored under [`zones`](/docs/api-reference/data#zones)
