Container
Container "box" where you can drag and drop other widgets, including other containers, to organize the layout of the screen.
Containers allow you to:
- Group content with the same layout (style, position, etc.);
- Group content with the same behavior (for example, content that must be visible or hidden in the screen at the same time);
- Create a nested structure of content.
