- `align-items-xs-center`
- `align-items-xs-flex-start`
- `align-items-xs-flex-end`
- `align-items-xs-baseline`
- `align-content-xs-center`
- `align-content-xs-flex-start`

- `align-content-xs-space-between`
- `align-content-xs-space-around`
- `justify-xs-center`
- `justify-xs-flex-end`

Have a look at [overriding with classes](/customization/overrides#overriding-with-classes) section
and the [implementation of the component](https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/packages/material-ui/src/Grid/Grid.js)
for more detail.

If using the `overrides` key of the theme as documented
[here](/customization/themes#customizing-all-instances-of-a-component-type),
you need to use the following style sheet name: `MuiGrid`.
