# Padding

**Padding** allows you to add visual spacing **above or below** form elements. This helps organize content more clearly and creates breathing room between sections, improving the overall form layout and user experience.

## Use Cases

* Separate key sections visually
* Create space around surrounding text
* Improve readability of long forms
* Enhance the appearance of dynamic field groups

### Example Use Case:

* Add spacing between “Personal Details” and “Contact Info” sections to make forms easier to scan and fill.

## Best practices

* Use consistent padding to align form elements
* Avoid excessive spacing that pushes content out of view
* Combine padding with **surrounding text** for more structured designs

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/writebackextreme/features/tableau-extension/configuration/schemas/general-features/padding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
