To style a component it should always have a tag.
{% endhint %}

3. If the component doesn’t yet have a tag: \
   a.   Click on “**Add a Tag**” and write a tag name in the “**Add a tag to this component**” input.\
   b.   Search for an existent tag and select it, or press "Enter" to create a new one.
4. **Select** the property you want to set. **CSS properties** are grouped by categories in a couple tags (Size, Spacing, Position, etc...).
5. **Set a value** for the desired property.
6. When you feel you have finished styling your component, click the “Done” button to close the card.
