Hi

For some reason or other, I have a hard time moving “sections” around, and making them larger.

If I want more space between two sections, or to enlarge a section, how do I do that?

I tried going on the side menu, in the visual Editor on the CSS Style-tab, and then drag the bottom part down, but, although I see the size of the box grow bigger, the section underneath it is as if glued to it´s position, and the box on top just dips into that, instead of pushing it further down.

Another thing is that the section on the bottom of these two here doesn´t seem to be possible to move. It says “can´t move element into itself”.

I´m thoroughly confused here.

Welcome to Pinegrow!

To space an element from its sibling, in the styles panel, scroll down to the margin/padding and add the margin (for the desired direction top, bottom, left or right).

Yeah, I tried that, and it made the section below disappear into the top one.

I tried to pull it upwards just now, and it made the space I wanted, but I can´t seem to use it for anything. If I place an element there, it goes below both sections. I also see that the original section is highlighted in green in the same area as before…

With the spacing control (margin/padding), you are essentially creating css rules on the elements to style them. Can you share your snippets/screenshots to understand the issue you are facing with your page?

This [article](https://pinegrow.com/docs/getting-started/is-pinegrow-the-right-choice-for-you/) will be helpful to understand how to work on your elements in Pinegrow.

Specificallly for css styling, please refer to this docs page - [https://pinegrow.com/docs/master-pinegrow/style/](https://pinegrow.com/docs/master-pinegrow/style/). The interactive tutorials from Pinegrow’s start-screen is also helpful, easy and practical.

I looked through the guide, but didn´t find anything about this.
