+Note that by default, the content inside the `.progress-bar` is controlled with `overflow: hidden`, so it doesn't bleed out of the bar. If your progress bar is shorter than its label, the content will be capped and may become unreadable. To change this behavior, you can use `.overflow-visible` from the [overflow utilities]({{< docsref "/utilities/overflow" >}}), but make sure to also define an explicit [text color]({{< docsref "/utilities/colors#colors" >}}) so the text remains readable. Be aware though that currently this approach does not take into account [color modes]({{< docsref "/customize/color-modes" >}}).

 ## Multiple bars
 
 You can include multiple progress components inside a container with `.progress-stacked` to create a single stacked progress bar. Note that in this case, the styling to set the visual width of the progress bar *must* be applied to the `.progress` elements, rather than the `.progress-bar`s.
