Trying to understand Containers' role

I’m trying to understand and learn the rules of using Containers on a page. For example, I can drop an image component on a page and starting working on things like padding and margin but I can also drop a container component and then an image component inside of it and do similar padding and margin tweaking…

Why use a container component to drop an image component within it instead of only dropping an image component on a page?

Hi @numericcitizen,

Great to see you starting to use Elements :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I thought it would be easier if I just created a quick video to go over my thoughts on when to use padding on a container versus padding on an image.

There is no right or wrong way to do something; there are best practices, or ways to make your life easier. Hope this video helps…

Let me know if you have any more questions on this or need help building any type of layout :blush:
