## Overview

A Card is used as a container for a set of different components. It supports multiple views that can be activated by switching the *Enable multiple views* option in the Card's settings.

## Working with the component

The Card component is a useful tool in cases when you have several components on the page and you want them to occupy all available space - you can place them inside the Card and use our *Expand content to fit* setting.\
More details you can find in this article:point\_down:
