### Visible <span class="ml-2 font-semibold text-slate-light text-sm uppercase tracking-wide">Default</span>

Use `.visible` to make an element visible. This will typically be used as a reset when using the `.invisible` utility.

@component('_partials.code-sample', ['class' => 'flex justify-center'])
<div class="visible bg-smoke w-24 h-24 rounded-pill"></div>
@endcomponent

### Invisible

Use `.invisible` to hide an element, but still maintain it's space.

@component('_partials.code-sample', ['class' => 'flex justify-center'])
<div class="invisible bg-smoke w-24 h-24 rounded-pill"></div>
@endcomponent


## Responsive

To apply an overflow utility only at a specific breakpoint, add a `{breakpoint}:` prefix to the existing class name. For example, adding the class `md:overflow-scroll` to an element would apply the `overflow-scroll` utility at medium screen sizes and above.
