# contentMargins(for:edges:alignment:) Insets the content of this view by a content margin guide. ``` nonisolated func contentMargins(for guide: ContentMarginGuide, edges: Edge.Set = .all, alignment: Alignment? = nil) -> some View ``` ## Parameters `guide` The guide that provides the insets. `edges` The edges to inset, any edges not in this set are unchanged, even when `guide` provides a value for them. `alignment` The alignment of the view within the inset bounds. Most alignment values have no apparent effect when the view fills the size it was proposed. ## Return Value A view inset on `edges` by `guide`. ## Discussion Use this modifier to lay a view out against a system metric, like the margins of the container it appears in: ``` NavigationStack { AlbumGrid() .contentMargins(for: .container, edges: .horizontal) } ``` The view is proposed the size it would otherwise receive, and is inset by the value of `guide` when it’s placed. A view that doesn’t fill the size it was proposed is positioned within the inset bounds using `alignment`. Here, a compose button sits in the bottom trailing corner of the margins of its container: ``` ZStack { MessageList() ComposeButton() .contentMargins( for: .container, alignment: .bottomTrailing) } ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
