Implementing Layout Settings

Implementing block spacing – B

Block spacing follows a simple but important rule: every block gets spacing added before it, except the first block in each container. No spacing is added after the last block.

This applies within any container – whether it’s the main page container or a Group block. The first child block in any container never gets top spacing, while subsequent blocks do.

Understanding this pattern helps you build predictable layouts in your block theme. You’ll know exactly where spacing appears and can plan your designs accordingly.

The visual result is clean, consistent spacing throughout your site without awkward gaps at the beginning or end of content sections – exactly what you want for professional-looking layouts.
