• Column Start - Sets the column where the Component will start. 
• Column Span - Sets how many columns the Component will span. 
• Padding - Sets how much space will appear on the top, bottom, left, and right of the Component. When building a Page with multiple Components, the Padding will determine the overall spacing between Components.
