How to Enable Full Bleed Sections on Squarespace
A common question that I see fellow Squarespace designers asking in community forums is how to enable full bleed sections on Squarespace.
What this means is they want their section to fill the space, both all the way to the sides of the screen and all the way to the top and bottom, meeting the sections above and below.

So, spoiler alert, to enable full bleed sections on Squarespace all you have to do is toggle off one button. That’s it. It couldn’t be simpler.
Once you’ve added your section and got it looking how you want, to make it fill the whole space, both to the sides and to the top and bottom select Edit Section.
In the panel that appears you simply need to ensure the Fill Screen option is toggled OFF.

What this will do is ensure the section content fills the section all the way to the top and the bottom.
Now if you want it to bleed out to the sides too, this is even easier. You just have to drag the blue lines around the content all the way out to the sides. Honestly, it’s that simple.
