      • Visible: Displays overflowing content outside the module.

      • Scroll: Adds a horizontal scroll bar for navigating the overflow.

      • Hidden: Hides the overflowing content.

      • Auto: Let the browser decide whether to display a scroll bar.

  3. Vertical Overflow:

    • Manage content that overflows the top and bottom edges of the module:

      • Visible: Displays overflowing content below the module.

Best Practices for Using Visibility Options

  • Device-Specific Content: Use the Disable On option to hide modules with large images or detailed content that might not display well on smaller screens.

  • Manage Overflow: Set overflow to Scroll for modules containing tables, text blocks, or images that might exceed the module's dimensions.

  • Test Responsiveness: Preview changes on different devices to ensure your settings enhance user experience without hiding critical content.

The Visibility options provide flexible tools to optimize your modules for any layout or device, ensuring your site remains user-friendly and visually appealing.
