TABLE OF CONTENTS


What is Container Size (Height & Width) Control?

Container Size is a built-in control in the page builder that lets you define an element’s height and width directly in the builder. These values determine how much space an element occupies within its parent container (e.g., column, row, or section). You can choose units that best fit your layout goals and set device-specific values for responsive designs.


Key Benefits of Container Size Control

  • Precise Layouts: Fine-tune element size for exact designs.

  • Responsive Control: Set different values for desktop and mobile.

  • Unit Flexibility: Choose the between multiple sizing units to pick the correct one for the specific scenario.

  • Cleaner Builds: Achieve exact results in the UI instead of custom CSS.


Supported Sizing Units

Different units change how size is calculated. The following familiar web-design units are options so you can select the unit that works best for your project!

  • px – fixed pixel count (exact sizing)
  • % – percentage of the parent container
  • em / rem – scale relative to font size
  • vh / vw – viewport-based height or width
  • auto – browser decides optimal size

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use decimals like 33.33% for equal columns?
Yes! Decimals are supported for fine control (e.g., 33.33% × 3 cards). Validate on mobile to avoid unintended wrapping.

Q: How do I revert changes?
Set the unit to auto to revet the sizing to the element’s natural state.

Q: Will mobile values affect desktop?
No. Values set in mobile view apply only to mobile, leaving desktop settings intact.

Q: Can I still use the Margin and Padding settings?

Absolutely! Height & Width control adds another layer, use all three together for complete layout control.

Q: Are negative or zero values allowed for width/height?
Negative values (or 0) are not supported. If a number that is 0 or lower is entered, the element will remain at the current size.
