Why is it not possible to make a simple sticky footer or anything other than sticky at the top? I’ve been trying to figure out so I can at least have some button at the bottom. ---

Does it have the effect you want when you set the footer to constrain to the bottom of the board and select fix when scrolling? ![Horizontal constraints: scale. Vertical constraints: bottom. Fix when scrolling: selected.](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/e/e66c1dd938be4d6be51320f9a4ede9b682a2cec7.png) ---

I think I’m having the same problem. I want to use Flex Layout to make a drawer for a mobile app and I can only get “align items end” to work in conjunction with “row,” not “column,” but I need it to go in a column ---

> [@mienaiKnife](#): > > I want to use Flex Layout to make a drawer for a mobile app and I can only get “align items end” to work in conjunction with “row,” not “column,” but I need it to go in a column This is a perfect use case for grid layout. The layout is one column with two rows. The first row is your “main” app area, and the second row is your footer/drawer area. The second row is set to `auto` height so it is only as tall as the items inside it. The first row is set to `1fr` which fills all the available space, pushing the footer to the end of the layout: ![Grid layout with 1 column at 1fr width, and 2 rows at 1fr and auto height.](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/2/2db1ec70b7ae637399d63e11507c8b01707cf2d9.png) Demo file: [Using grid for a sticky footer.penpot](https://community.penpot.app/uploads/short-url/y3PWd3wPXTJw4aSFnDd5Ja1kbhm.penpot) (24.7 KB) This is a technique used in CSS web development, I’m thrilled it works so well in Penpot 😁 ---

Idk what you uploaded but it’s not an working example. It doesn’t scroll when items get bigger than the viewport. . ---

If you’re looking to prototype a sticky footer, then I would use the constraints approach. If you’re looking for a sticky footer that works as code, I would use the grid layout approach. You can’t currently set content inside a grid layout to be scrollable inside Penpot. That’d be a great feature request though 😃
