Hi Evolve Community! I have a padding related question: I am using a Links component to a create a button which takes you to the next page. however it has a mystery 10 px of padding which is pushing it off the edege of the content. I’ve attached a screenshot to show the issue using the inspector tool. Red lines showing the spacing. ![button-margin-02](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/1X/e1dec7de252501cfba5ec85ad83ae391d4ad8ab7.png) I can’t work out where the padding is coming from as all the left padding on buttons has been removed. From the webinspector it looks like it is padding on a container which holds the button but i can’t work out where this can be adjusted! Apologies if this is very obvious. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Nath ---

Hello and Welcome Nath! Have you checked in the theme setting for margin in Buttons in general? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/1X/bfc8798c3c83258789514b1edd8301a588c77bfc.png) if not, do you have an article style applied to the article the button is in? ---

Hi hmaffin, Thanks for your reply, yes I thought that would be where to change it however I’ve set the margin to 0 on the left and the component has no padding either. Puzzled! ![Screenshot 2021-08-27 at 14.01.39](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/1X/73884f51430bbee1c4030569d6ed461e0dbbfd21.png) ---

Hey nath! Do you want to send me by private message the link to your course in the editor and I can take a look? It is sometimes hard to diagnose without seeing it in context 🙂 ---

Weird - I see a message button when I click on yours. Not to worry - email me on [hbailey@intellum.com](mailto:hbailey@intellum.com) ---

Incase anyone else is looking for a solution Hmaffin mentioned a this is a standard setting when Evolve puts items in a grid layout. A work around is to go to the Button settings, to Layout and then set the left margin to -10, which for me has fixed this 🙂 Thanks! ---

Just to add that this may be a reaction to when you use a component that has a grid based layout, and we’re going to take a look into whether this can be solved within the tool itself so a fix isn’t necessary. Thanks nath!
