The Row Field is presentational-only and only affects the [Admin Panel](../admin/overview). By using it, you can arrange [Fields](./overview) next to each other horizontally.

To add a Row Field, set the `type` to `row` in your [Field Config](./overview):

```ts
import type { Field } from 'payload'

export const MyRowField: Field = {
  // ...
  // highlight-start
  type: 'row',
  fields: [
    // ...
  ],
  // highlight-end
}
```
