    In this video we conquer containers!
    Containers in Power Apps are incredibly useful for organizing UI elements, making it easier to manage layout and design across different screen sizes. By grouping controls within a container, you can ensure that they behave consistently as a unit when the app is resized or viewed on various devices. Containers also simplify the process of aligning elements, providing a streamlined way to implement a clean and professional interface. Additionally, using containers can enhance the performance of the app by minimizing the number of controls that need individual configuration and adjustment.
