# Grid item

## Overview

A block that conditionally displays its content based on a pagination index. Works with grid components to show content for specific pagination states.

## Block limitations

This is a private block. It is intended for use only within specific parent blocks and should not be added directly to sections.

## Common use cases

* Set unique index values for each paginate content block
* Use with blocks/grid\_\_content for fully functional pagination
* Ensure gap sizes match between pagination components for visual consistency
* Configure column and row spans to create complex grid layouts
* Use color schemes and borders to visually distinguish grid items

## Compatible blocks

The following blocks can be nested within this block:

* All theme blocks
* App blocks

## Block settings

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/content/blocks/layout/default-grid/grid-item.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
