# Background images

## How to add a background image? 

Setka Editor uses a nested structure for post content. Smaller objects are placed or nested inside larger ones. For example, a column is nested in a grid, and a grid is nested in the post.

Please see this short tutorial video to learn all about working with backgrounds in Setka Editor:
