# Stylings: Default Internal Spacing

These are the **global default spacing values applied to new sections** when you add them to the canvas. Think of it as your page-wide baseline, but every individual section can override these values in its own settings panel. Changes here do not retroactively affect sections already on the canvas.

**Default Internal Spacing**

All (slider)
A single slider that sets the same padding on all four sides simultaneously. Drag to increase or decrease. Unit can be switched between **px, em, rem, or %**. Useful for quickly setting a uniform inset before fine-tuning individual sides.

Top / Right / Bottom / Left
Individual controls for each side of the section padding. The four icons to the left of each value represent Top, Right, Bottom, and Left edges. Unlock the sides to set them independently: for example `48px` top/bottom and `0px` left/right for a full-bleed horizontal section with vertical breathing room.

💡This sets the **default for new sections only**. To change spacing on a section already on the canvas, select that section and go to **Section settings → Spacing tab**: where you'll find the same controls plus per-device overrides for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile.
