When To Use

Use	Avoid
A secondary region for navigation, metadata, filters, notes, or related content.	Avoid using this component when the content has a different job or needs a simpler plain-text treatment.
Use layout sections to create predictable page regions and reusable responsive structure.	Avoid changing approved colours, typography, logo artwork, or class names to create a local style guide.
Use the starter markup as a copy/paste baseline for websites, Ghost HTML blocks, generated pages, or print previews.	Avoid copying placeholder IDs, links, contact details, or image paths without replacing them.
