Clarification Required (CSS): Customizing Modern Site Pages

Hi,

To customize the look and feel of the site, we made use of classes provided by SharePoint modern pages (eg: CanvasSection-xl8, CanvasSection, etc.). But soon, there was an update in SharePoint's CSS, due to which we had to rewrite our custom CSS/JS.

Can anyone please let us know which classes are not likely to be changed in the future, since it is not documented anywhere? Also, there is a data-automation-id attribute that is present in the DOM, can we use that or that too can change?

Any suggestions or information is highly appreciated.

Thanks

SharePoint Online

    Unfortunately you are not going to find a clear answer for this ask :-(. Microsoft makes the kind of changes you mention here without further notice and that ends on breaking custom code that rely in the DOM
