Align Content

How multiple wrapped lines of children pack from top to bottom inside the column.

Where to find it
Labelled Align Content in the "Selected Column" section of the Modify drawer.
Per device
Yes — you can set one value for every screen, or separate values for phone, tablet, and desktop.
Underlying CSS
alignContent

In plain English

Same idea as the row's Align Content. It only matters when Flex Wrap has created more than one line and the column is taller than those lines need.

Setting it turns the column into a flex container automatically.

What each option does

OptionWhat you will see
flex-startWrapped lines pack at the start.
centerWrapped lines pack in the middle.
flex-endWrapped lines pack at the end.
space-betweenFirst line at one end, last at the other.
space-aroundEqual space on both sides of every line.
space-evenlyEvery gap between lines is identical.
stretchLines stretch to fill the column.

When you would use it

  • Wrapped lines inside a tall column should sit mid-way, not jammed at the top.

How to change it

  1. Set Flex Wrap to "wrap" first.
  2. Open "Align Content" and click a diagram.
One value, or one per device? Every input in this setting sits under a “Same value for all resolutions” checkbox. Leave it checked for a single value everywhere, or uncheck it to give phones, tablets, and desktops their own. How per-device values work.

Watch out for

  • With a single line of children, Align Content has nothing to arrange.
