Module Spacing

Using “grid spacing” will enable the space between two sections to be equivalent to the space between columns and rows within a section. Use this option when you want two sections to be combined and appear as if they were one section.

Create “section spacing” by using the default spacing between two modules (80px on desktop and 40px on mobile). The defaults can be changed globally on request but must be consistent throughout any web project.
