 Here's what you need to know before getting started with the navbar:
 
 - Navbars require a wrapping `.navbar` with `.navbar-expand{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}` for responsive collapsing and [color scheme](#color-schemes) classes.
-- Navbars and their contents are fluid by default. Use [optional containers](#containers) to limit their horizontal width.
+- Navbars and their contents are fluid by default. Change the [container](#containers) to limit their horizontal width in different ways.
 - Use our [spacing]({{< docsref "/utilities/spacing" >}}) and [flex]({{< docsref "/utilities/flex" >}}) utility classes for controlling spacing and alignment within navbars.
 - Navbars are responsive by default, but you can easily modify them to change that. Responsive behavior depends on our Collapse JavaScript plugin.
 - Ensure accessibility by using a `<nav>` element or, if using a more generic element such as a `<div>`, add a `role="navigation"` to every navbar to explicitly identify it as a landmark region for users of assistive technologies.
