+## Tailwind Utility Classes
+EDS Components is configured for TW utility class use in Storybook only. Please configure downstream Tailwind config purge to include app files if necessary.
+
+Tailwind utility classes can be used with either `@apply` in CSS files such as 
+```css
+div {
+  @apply rounded border-2;
+  /* border-radius: 0.25 rem;
+     border-width: 2px; */
+}
+```
+or used directly as class names such as
+```jsx
+<div className="rounded border-2">
+```
+Use the [docs](https://tailwindcss.com/docs) to search for appropriate classes.
+
+### Potential conflicts with other styling libraries (e.g. Bootstrap)
+
+If you're also using styles from a separate library, conflicts may arise rarely between utility class names. Here are some conflicts we're aware of for **Bootstrap** specifically:
+  - Most annoying, `.hidden`
+    - Both Tailwind and Bootstrap have the same styling for `.hidden` but Bootstrap applies the  `!important ` property, which can be annoying when trying to utilize Tailwind breakpoints, e.g.:
+    ```html
+    <div class="hidden md:block lg:inline">
+    ```
+    - Where the expectation is `display: none ` for breakpoints smaller than 768px, `display: block `for 768px - 1023px, and `display: inline ` for >= 1024px. However since Bootstrap applies the `!important` property, all screen sizes show `display: none`.
+    - This can be circumvented with the `@apply` directive and/or using custom CSS with regular media queries to scope styling into a different class name, e.g.:.
+    ```jsx
+    <div className="responsive-display">
+    ```
+    ```css
+    .responsive-display {
+      display: none;
+      @apply md:block lg:inline;
+      /* or use traditional @media queries */
+    }
+    ```
+  - `.invisible` and `.text-` alignment
+    - These classes have the same styling in both Tailwind and Bootstrap, and therefore can be used without issues. Tailwind responsive states (such as breakpoints, hover, etc.) will have higher specificity so no issues will be caused there.
+  - Other unfound conflicts
+    - If the conflict is due to Bootstrap using `!important`, follow similar strategy above as `.hidden`.
+  - Bootstrap [styling](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/tree/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap) and mentioned conflicts in [_utilities.scss](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_utilities.scss#L46) and [_type.scss](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_type.scss#L90) for reference
