Where to Find the Spacing Options

  1. Open the Module Settings: Click the gear icon or the module itself to access the settings.

  2. Navigate to the Design Tab: Locate the Spacing option group.

Spacing Customization Settings

  1. Margin: Add space outside the module to separate it from other elements on the page. You can set custom values for the top, right, bottom, and left margins.

  2. Padding: Add space inside the module between its content and its boundaries. Like the margin, you can adjust padding individually for the top, right, bottom, and left sides.

  3. Chainlink Icon: Click the chainlink icon to lock the top and bottom or left and right values together. This ensures equal spacing for a consistent look.

  4. Default Values:

    • Margin: The default value is 0, meaning no additional space is added outside the module.

    • Padding: The default value is 0, leaving no extra space inside the module boundaries.

Note: Spacing values can be set using units such as px, %, em, rem, vw, vh, and more.

Tips for Using Spacing Options

  • Create Balance: Use padding to add breathing room inside the module, making content more visually appealing.

  • Avoid Overcrowding: Add margins to separate the module from nearby elements and prevent clutter.

  • Maintain Proportions: Use the chainlink icon to lock spacing values, ensuring symmetry in your design.
