Box Position: Overflow Settings

Overflow settings control how child boxes that extend beyond a parent box are displayed. Choose from three options: Visible, Hidden, or Scroll.

There are three overflow options available: Visible, Hidden, and Scroll.

Visible

  • Child boxes that extend beyond the parent box are displayed as-is on screen.

  • This behaves the same as CSS overflow: visible — content that overflows outside the element is not clipped.

Hidden

  • Any part of a child box that extends beyond the parent box's boundaries will not be displayed.

  • This behaves the same as CSS overflow: clip — content is clipped to the box's boundaries, so anything outside is not visible and cannot be scrolled to.

  • If you need the hidden behavior to use overflow: hidden instead, check the [Use hidden instead of clip] option.

Scroll

  • Child boxes that don't fit within the parent box can be scrolled in the flow direction (vertical or horizontal) to view the rest of the content.

  • By adjusting the box direction and arrangement, you can change the scroll direction and starting position.

Note: Scrollbar Display

  • In the design editor, a scrollbar appears to help you confirm the scroll direction, but this scrollbar will not be shown in live preview or on the published site.

  • When using a mouse, you can typically hold the Shift key while scrolling the mouse wheel to scroll horizontally.
