## Overflow

Adjust the `overflow` property on the fly with four default values and classes. These classes are not responsive by default.

<div class="bd-example d-md-flex">
  <div class="overflow-auto p-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 me-md-3 bg-body-tertiary" style="max-width: 260px; max-height: 100px;">
    This is an example of using <code>.overflow-auto</code> on an element with set width and height dimensions. By
    design, this content will vertically scroll.
  </div>
  <div class="overflow-hidden p-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 me-md-3 bg-body-tertiary" style="max-width: 260px; max-height: 100px;">
    This is an example of using <code>.overflow-hidden</code> on an element with set width and height dimensions.
  </div>
  <div class="overflow-visible p-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 me-md-3 bg-body-tertiary" style="max-width: 260px; max-height: 100px;">
    This is an example of using <code>.overflow-visible</code> on an element with set width and height dimensions.
  </div>
  <div class="overflow-scroll p-3 bg-body-tertiary" style="max-width: 260px; max-height: 100px;">
    This is an example of using <code>.overflow-scroll</code> on an element with set width and height dimensions.
  </div>
</div>

```html
<div class="overflow-auto">...</div>
<div class="overflow-hidden">...</div>
<div class="overflow-visible">...</div>
<div class="overflow-scroll">...</div>
```

### `overflow-x`

Adjust the `overflow-x` property to affect the overflow of content horizontally.

<div class="bd-example d-md-flex">
  <div
    class="overflow-x-auto p-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 me-md-3 bg-body-tertiary w-100"
    style="max-width: 200px; max-height: 100px; white-space: nowrap;"

  </div>
  <div
    class="overflow-x-visible p-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 me-md-3 bg-body-tertiary w-100"
    style="max-width: 200px; max-height: 100px;white-space: nowrap;"

      <code>.overflow-x-visible</code> example{' '}
    </div>
    <div>on an element with set width and height dimensions.</div>
  </div>
  <div
    class="overflow-x-scroll p-3 bg-body-tertiary w-100"
    style="max-width: 200px; max-height: 100px;white-space: nowrap;"

  </div>
</div>

<div class="overflow-x-auto">...</div>
<div class="overflow-x-hidden">...</div>
<div class="overflow-x-visible">...</div>
<div class="overflow-x-scroll">...</div>
```

### `overflow-y`

Adjust the `overflow-y` property to affect the overflow of content vertically.

<div class="bd-example d-md-flex">
  <div
    class="overflow-y-auto p-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 me-md-3 bg-body-tertiary w-100"

  >
    <code>.overflow-y-hidden</code> example on an element with set width and height dimensions.
  </div>
  <div
    class="overflow-y-visible p-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 me-md-3 bg-body-tertiary w-100"
    style="max-width: 200px; max-height: 100px;"
  >
    <code>.overflow-y-visible</code> example on an element with set width and height dimensions.
  </div>
  <div class="overflow-y-scroll p-3 bg-body-tertiary w-100" style="max-width: 200px; max-height: 100px;">
