## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the Sticky Column option isn't appearing?**
A: If the Sticky Column option isn't showing, ensure that you have the Nexter Blocks plugin installed and activated. The Sticky Column feature is automatically available when using the container block with multiple columns. If you're using the default WordPress Block editor and still don't see it, double-check your plugin settings and ensure everything is up to date.

**Q: What are the best spacing settings for a sticky column?**
A: When setting up a sticky column, use the Top Spacing and Bottom Spacing fields to control how close the sticky column is to the top and bottom of the viewport. Adjust these settings based on your design needs and the content layout. Proper spacing ensures that the sticky column doesn't overlap with other elements, maintaining a clean look.
