Overview of the Changes

Previously when using the image component, the component would always try to fill the container within the section. This led to some images being stretched out or being of uneven size when multiple image components were side by side. This was because the original images were of varying sizes. You now have the ability to change the image size in the image component to help resolve this issue. To learn more, please visit the page that lists all the components and what aspect ratios they use. All of our components are mobile friendly and scale the image size based on the aspect ratio.
