- Underlying CSS
minHeight
In plain English
Min Height gives a box a guaranteed depth while still letting it grow. Set 300px and a short piece of text still occupies a 300px-tall block; add ten paragraphs and the block simply gets taller to fit them.
That is almost always what you want instead of Height. A fixed height traps content and forces you to deal with overflow; a minimum height gives you the shape you designed without the risk.
When you would use it
- Cards in a row should all look the same depth even though their text differs in length.
- A hero section should be at least one screen tall but grow if the headline wraps: use 100vh here rather than in Height.
- A coloured band needs presence on the page even when it holds very little.
How to change it
- Select the column, open "Selected Column", then "Min Height".
- Enter a number and choose a unit. Use vh when you want the value measured against the visitor's screen height.
- Add extra content temporarily to confirm the box grows the way you expect.
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
- Min Height wins over Height. Setting both, with the minimum larger, means the height is ignored.
- A min height in percent needs the surrounding element to have a height, which inside a normal row it usually does not. Use vh instead.
