Vertical alignment is a row-level option, but it's useful when working with columns. This setting allows you to determine whether your content sits at the top, bottom, or middle of the row.
Say, for example, you have a two-column row. In one column, you have an image, and in the other column, you have text. Oftentimes, the content in each row will have different heights. This may cause unwanted empty space below the column with less content.
The entire row will always inherit the height of the taller column.
In this example, the images are not as tall as the text in the other column. As a result, the text content takes up the entire height of the row. However, the image sits near the top of the row with a lot of white pace beneath it. This is due to the default setting of top alignment.
If you wanted an equal amount of empty above and below the image, you can use middle vertical alignment to accomplish this.
