I understand you can't use align-self on the button as the axis was swapped when you switch to column...but why does justify-content: flex-end; not work as this would target the axis you are trying to work on? This just seems more intuitive to me than messing with margins.

Treehouse Project ReviewerNo, that's where margins come in.
Flex-container properties for aligning items:
justify-content: ;
align-content: ;
align-items: ;
Flex-items properties for aligning individual items:
align-self: ;
/* margin properties */

2,492 PointsOk I just realized that justify-content only works on the flex container...but, is there some sort of equivalent to "align-self" for flex items on the main axis?
