Resizing the Rich Text module

Resize manually

When a user manually resizes a module, there is an important behavior to note: 

Minimum Height Constraint: Regardless of how much the module or section is resized, there is a minimum height that it will maintain. This minimum height is determined by the content within the module or the "minimum height" constraint for sections. The purpose of this constraint is to ensure that all content remains visible and accessible, preventing it from being hidden due to resizing. This ensures that the module cannot be resized to a height shorter than the minimum height. 

The section’s height is automatically adjusted based on the size of the modules within, but the minimum height constraint allows the section to maintain a set height, even if the modules do not fill the entire space. If the minimum height is changed, the "Auto Resize" button can be used to adjust the section’s height to match the total height of all contained modules, removing any extra space.

• Resize manually by hovering the mouse over one of the module’s borders or corners (1). The mouse cursor will change to an arrow pair.
  

• Click and drag the boundary until the module is the desired size (see below).
  

Resize automatically

Automatic resizing is designed to ensure that a module adapts its size to always show all its content, and automatically changes its size to accommodate the content added in the module.

This feature maintains content visibility, preventing the module from becoming shorter than the minimum height needed to display all content. Thus, the content remains fully visible without user intervention, eliminating the need for manual size adjustment

• Hover the mouse over the module so that “Auto Resize” appears (1).
  

• Click “Auto Resize” to resize the module to the size required to display all its content.
