Allow changing the width of columns when adding sections to a Modern Page
Looks like you can't change columns' width when creating a new section in a Modern Page. Being able to chage it would be very useful. My classic page, for example, has a section containing 3 columns, where the first and last ones have their width set to 25%, while the central one has width set to 50%. In Modern Pages, I can only have 3 columns with the same width, 33% in this case.

Thanks you for the suggestion. We’ve discussed adding additional column layout options (e.g. 4 columns, the specific example provided by the initial suggester 25/50/25, etc.) If we wanted to keep pages consistent (so there aren’t 50 layouts), but allow additional flexibility, what would be the next three layout choices you’d add? Thanks!

Column heading wrapping is not available and users are complaining about the truncated column headings. This actually encourages users not to use the modern sharepoint.

I would also like to see nested sections. So I could theoretically put a two column section into one of the 3 column sections. Or add a 3 column section to a two column section.

I'd like to see the full width option (for the real estate!), and also a 4x equal columns layout - when using image-based "buttons" I'd like to have 4 across the page to help minimise scroll depth.

Two layouts to add:
1. 4 Column layout
2. 25-50-25 layout
And the option to use more web parts in the full width column. -

If you are unable to provide what @Steven Jackson is proposing, I would like the ability to create my own columns with sizes.

Understand the requirement of consistency. More standardized options rather than customization.
1. Vertical sections on each side
2. 4 columns
3. 5 columns
4. 25/50/25 -

I really want less header/side wasted space. It would be really nice to have 4 columns with the various layouts described and ability to expand them to be the full page size. Thank you.

Two layouts to add:
1. 4 Column layout
2. 25-50-25 layoutFor consideration later, a full grid system where you can specify the grid similar to something like Bootstrap.

To Site Product Team. If you added just the 4 column, and the 25/50/25, that would be enough in my humble opinion.

There is a way to do a 25-50-25 layout.
1. Edit the page and go to Section Layout
2. Add a Vertical Section
3. Change your page layout to One-Third Left columnThis gives you a smaller column on the right and left, and a larger column ~50% in the middle. This also expands the sections so that it uses more of the screen. Less white space on left and right sides.
The disadvantage here is that the "Vertical Section" goes all the way down the page, regardless of how many additional sections you have.
Not ideal, but it works.

4 columns.
Allowing ability to set % would be great too. -

I would say having the 4 columns layout would be great. Then allowing custom widths in 2 and 3 column layouts. I suspect the knock on effect is that web part behaviour will have to be updated to match the column widths which is probably what you are dreading having to do.
