- [Grid mixins](/layout/grid#sass-mixins) and [predefined classes](/layout/grid#predefined-classes) include support for flexbox. Just [enable flexbox support](/getting-started/flexbox) to utilize them as you would otherwise.

+- Flexbox grid columns without a set width will automatically layout with equal widths. For example, four columns will each automatically be 25% wide.
- Flexbox grid columns have significantly more alignment options available, including vertical alignment.
+- Unlike the default grid system where a grid column starts as full-width in the `xs` tier, flexbox requires a `.col-{breakpoint}` class for each tier.
Chill? Awesome—keep reading for more information and some code snippets.
## Auto-layout columns
-As mentioned above, flexbox grid columns will automatically layout with even widths. Add any number of `.col-*`s for each breakpoint you need and you're good to go.
+When flexbox support is enabled, you can utilize breakpoint-specific column classes for equal-width columns. Add any number of `.col-{breakpoint}`s for each breakpoint you need and you're good to go. For example, here's are two grid layouts that apply to every device and viewport possible.

+## Responsive flexbox
+
+Unlike the default grid system, the flexbox grid requires a class for full-width columns. If you have a `.col-sm-6` and don't add `.col-xs-12`, your `xs` grid will not render correctly. Note that flexbox grid tiers still scale up across breakpoints, so if you want two 50% wide columns across `sm`, `md`, and `lg`, you only need to set `.col-sm-6`.
