Hello! I am in the process of building my first website (ever) with Squarespace. I have created a footer, but it is huge. I want to make it smaller but as of now can't find a way to do it. 

 

I do have a password for the site, but the site has also not yet been published.  So I am not sure if anyone can access it to help me, even with a password.  I am a BEGINNER and a bit lost. I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

Welcome to Squarespace!

The website footer is made from standard sections just like the rest of the pages, and these have a minimum height setting in the section settings. When you click "Edit Section", you'll see this dialogue open, you can set the section minimum height here with Small Medium or Large:

Does that answer your question?

Hi Ziggy! Thank you so much for your reply! ☺️

It makes sense b/c I have done that with other sections. But when I click "Edit Section", mine says "Format" instead of "Design". I have included a screenshot.

If I select "Fill", it does the S, M, L option....but the entire footer is still way to tall. 

Did I do something wrong or maybe need to remove and add a different type/style of footer?

It it inherently tall because of the number of rows you have:

The reason that it won't go down would be because there is a block at the bottom of the section. The rows only get added or subtracted from the bottom.
