How do I decrease the line height between components? The AI Bot told me to use leading-snug and put that in the CSS Classes box of the leading component. It doesn’t do anything when previewing or such. The spacing doesn’t change to have any negative top margin. Is there a way to input negative margins? I sure can’t find it in the settings area of the different components.

No need to use any code, it’s easy to change margins on all components, like this…
