# Divider

The Divider component is a minimal visual element used to create a clear separation between content blocks, sections, or UI elements. Designed with simplicity and clarity in mind, dividers help maintain a clean layout structure, enhance visual hierarchy, and improve content readability without drawing unnecessary attention.

## Property Configuration Table

Each design component offers a range of configurable options. These options are intentionally platform-agnostic, allowing implementations to adapt and tailor them to align with the specific requirements of the chosen framework.

## Usage Guide

***

| <div><figure><img src="/files/kcYdUTfMZTaYQ9BxxBCS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div> | <p><strong>Use Dividers with Headers for Clear Sectioning</strong></p><p>Place dividers below the header text to create distinct sections or page titles. This helps organise content and improves visual hierarchy.

</p><p>Avoid using dividers excessively, as they can create unnecessary visual noise and clutter. Use them sparingly to maintain a clean and focused layout</p> |
