In plain English

Columns in a row are rarely the same height. Vertical Alignment decides how they line up against each other.

New edits are stored per device on the row; classic row fields still work as a fallback.

What each option does

OptionWhat you will see
flex-startEvery column pinned to the top of the row.
centerColumns centred against each other vertically.
flex-endEvery column pinned to the bottom of the row.
baselineThe first line of text in each column sits on the same invisible line.
stretchEvery column grows to match the tallest.

When you would use it

  • Cards in a row have different amounts of text: choose "stretch".
  • A short caption should sit level with the middle of a tall image: choose "center".

How to change it

  1. Open "Entire Row", then "Vertical Alignment", 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

  • A column with its own Height set will not stretch — the fixed height wins.
