# Element properties

In this section, we'll cover elements and their properties. Properties are dividied into:

* [**Container-specific properties**](#container-specific-properties)**:** Properties for container elements for web and mobile.
* [**Element-specific properties**](#element-specific-properties)**:** Properties for visual and input elements for web and mobile.

## **Container-specific properties**

Containers also come with properties that only apply to a specific type.

## Element-specific properties

Element-specific properties are documented in articles that correspond to the element categories, as they appear in the element palette. Each category groups elements with similar functionality, and their reference entries describe the properties unique to those elements.
