When you “reset” the padding and margin properties at the beginning of the CSS, does that also reset the grid system?

I’m also confused about that. We should have more students engaged in the community and forums.

The lesson states, “It’s important to note, margins may vary depending on the width of the grid, browser window, or device. For larger displays, margins may be very noticeable while on smaller screens, they may have the same width as a gutter.”

Is there any way to control the appearance of margins so that they will be consistent in their size (proportion of screen real estate) across different-sized displays?
