# Container - Sectioning, Styling and Repeating

The Container is multi-purpose UI Component, and may be used for partitioning a screen into sections, control alignment and padding/margins of content, create custom clickable graphics, or custom lists or tiles. The Container also controls which part of a screen should be scrollable.

### **Video**

You may see a video on screen sectioning below:

This video shows you have to divide a screen into different sections by combining Containers with flex horizontal, flex vertical and stretch.
