title: Overflow
description: Use these shorthand utilities for quickly configuring how content overflows an element.
group: utilities
Barebones overflow functionality is provided for two values by default, and they are not responsive.
.overflow-auto on an element with set width and height dimensions. By design, this content will vertically scroll.
.overflow-hidden on an element with set width and height dimensions.
{% highlight html %}
Using Sass variables, you may customize the overflow utilities by changing the $overflows variable in _variables.scss.
