# Padding Right/Left

### How to Manage Padding Right/Left

Managing the padding around sections within your Shopify store using the AppSections Brand Style involves adjusting the Padding Right/Left settings. These settings allow you to control the minimum spacing around sections that are not set to full width, ensuring a balanced and visually appealing layout. Follow these steps to correctly manage the padding right and left using our custom settings:

### **Important Notes**
