## Overflow
Adjust the `overflow` property on the fly with four default values and classes. These classes are not responsive by default.
This is an example of using .overflow-auto on an element with set width and height dimensions. By design, this content will vertically scroll.
This is an example of using .overflow-hidden on an element with set width and height dimensions.
This is an example of using .overflow-visible on an element with set width and height dimensions.
This is an example of using .overflow-scroll on an element with set width and height dimensions.
