Barebones `overflow` functionality is provided for two values by default, and they are not responsive.

    This is an example of using .overflow-auto on an element with set width and height dimensions. By design, this content will vertically scroll.

    This is an example of using .overflow-hidden on an element with set width and height dimensions.

```html
<div class="overflow-auto">...</div>
<div class="overflow-hidden">...</div>
```

Using Sass variables, you may customize the overflow utilities by changing the `$overflows` variable in `_variables.scss`.
