1 <p>In the<a>previous assignment</a>we tested how automatic margins affect the position of flex items on the main axis. In addition, we were able to verify that these margins override the justify-content property.</p>

2 <p>The automatic margin affects the alignment of flex items along the cross axis.</p>

3 <p>If a flex item has an automatic top or bottom margin, then neither align-items nor align-self will affect it. This item will be pressed up against either the top or bottom of the container.</p>

4 <p>And if the automatic margins can be assigned from opposite sides, the item will be placed in the center of the flex item, since the free space will be absorbed equally by the margins.</p>
