Fixing the last conflicting constraint (width constraint)

When fixing the last conflicting constraint (width constraint), can't we just click the yellow triangle in the document outline and choose the fix misplacement option. It will give us the same end result. What is the significance of doing it Pasan's way?

Hi Ismael,

Either way for this course is fine as both will yield the same result, however. You need to be careful when using Xcode to manage your constraints automatically as sometimes it makes assumptions and and isn't correct especially wen it comes to aligning labels outside of the snapping guides.

Personally I prefer to use the warnings as a guide and set the constraints along side it which makes it easier to deal with.
