# Controlling Page Width

> How to control how wide page content appears in Curator using the global Page Margin theme setting and per-row width overrides.

Curator gives you two ways to control how wide your page content appears: a global side-margin that applies to every
page on the site, and a per-row override that lets individual rows break out to the full width of the browser window.

## Global Page Margin

The **Page Margin** setting controls the amount of empty space on the left and right of every page, expressed as a
percentage of the browser window width.  A larger percentage produces narrower content with more breathing room on the
sides; a smaller percentage lets content extend closer to the edges of the screen.

1. Navigate to the backend of the system (e.g. `http://curatorexample.com/backend`).
2. Click on **Settings** > **Curator** > **Themes** in the left-hand menu.
3. Open the theme you would like to edit and select the **Pages** tab.
4. Adjust the **Page Margin** value (entered as a percentage) and click the "Save" button.

This setting applies to all pages that use the selected theme.

## Per-Row Width

Individual rows in the page builder can override the global page margin and stretch to the full width of the browser
window.  This is useful for hero images, full-bleed banners, or background-colored sections that should reach the edges
of the screen.

1. In the page builder, click on the row you would like to adjust on the page-preview on the right-hand side.
2. In the styling side-panel that opens on the left, locate the **Row Width** option.
3. Choose **Standard** to respect the global Page Margin, or **Full Width** to stretch the row edge-to-edge.
4. Click the "Save" button on the page.

Content *inside* a Full Width row still respects its own column layout, so you can combine a full-width background with
standard-width inner content by nesting elements appropriately.
