How to Align Button Design Elements Inside a Panel

By default, a Button Design Element will automatically adjust its width based on the content that you have inside the Panel. This will give you uneven button sizes and you may encounter difficulty in adjusting its alignment. In this article, we will show you how to align the Button Design Element to the width of the Panel and get a uniform set of buttons where you need them.
