This is set to a default count and can be overridden on each **layout** at each breakpoint. The grid count sets how many columns can fit within before wrapping. * **Columns** and the content within fit within the grid of the **layout** * Each breakpoint has a default grid setting that all **layouts** are set to * Each **layout’s** default grid count can be set to whatever you like * If the quantity or width of **columns** within a **layout** exceed the grid count they will wrap below. ### How to change default grid settings Within the editor select the breakpoint dropdown from the top bar in the center From the bottom of the breakpoint dropdown, select **Grid settings** In the right sidebar are settings that will affect an entire breakpoint. Make modifications and save by selecting **Apply changes**. *** ## Grid settings Grid settings control default spacing, margin, grid count, and breakpoints. They are accessed in the **breakpoint** dropdown from the top bar. Grid count being changed resulting in content on grid widening ### Limit grid width Essentially a content ‘max width’ can be enabled, so at the desired width the site will stop scaling. Use the alignment to control where the site aligns when the window is above the max width. ### **Grid** Each breakpoint’s layouts will use the number of columns by default when added. The most common desktop grid is 12 columns, while mobile is most often 1 **column**. ### Margin The outside spacing default for all **layouts** ### Gutter The in-between spacing default amount between **columns** both horizontally and vertically when they wrap. ### Breakpoint Under tablet and mobile, the breakpoint amount is the window width at which the breakpoint is triggered. For instance, a tablet breakpoint of 1020 pixels means if the viewer’s window is at or under 1020 pixels wide the tablet breakpoint settings will display automatically. *** ## Overrides While there are default grid counts, they can be overridden on any **layout** at any breakpoint. This is most common when designing tile-based layouts like a grid of swatches. Grid count being overriden then tiles packed ### How to override grids From in body or the contents list, select the layout layer In the right sidebar, look for the **grid** settings group. Input a new grid count and select the check icon or press return Each breakpoint can have a unique grid globally, and layout grids overriden in the same way as above. It's a common workflow to check each breakpoint and update their grid as you make overrides.
