+This is how the different layout modes behave on different screen sizes with the 8 column layout as base:

+  <GridLayout gap={8} columns={8} width={256} items={[
+    { xOffset: 0, yOffset: 0, content: '1'},

+
+Order of items is defined by their position (top left to bottom right, row for row). 
+If the next item does not fit in the current row, it will be placed in the next row (see 4 in medium layout).
+If an item is small enough to fit into one of the gaps, it will be placed there (see 6 in medium layout).
+If the size of an item is to large to fix into the amount of columns available, it will automatically be resized to fit the entire width (see 3 in last layout).
+
+#### Base layout
+
+When using the layout mode **Auto** one of the layouts has to be defined as the base layout.
+It will be used to calculate position and size of items for other responsive layouts automatically.
+
+
 #### Name
 
 The name of the layout can be choosen freely. It is only used for the management and will not be visible on the board.
