Container layout and appearance | CoreCMS guides
Container settings control the section’s width, spacing, background and layout. Responsive controls let you adjust behaviour for different screen sizes.
How to use it
- Select the container and open its settings.
- Choose the device breakpoint you want to edit.
- Adjust margin, padding, background or width as needed.
- Use row and column alignment controls to position content.
- Reset a breakpoint override if you want it to inherit its default behaviour.
- Preview all device sizes and save.
Before you finish
Padding creates space inside a section; margin creates space outside it. Avoid fixed heights where text needs to grow, and check contrast over background images.
