The important property of CSS is used for giving the priority to any property of a CSS. The !important property means 'That is important' means deny all the properties of that attribute and apply this important rule and value on that particular element.

The !important keyword must be applied at the end of the line otherwise it will not work if any below line code execute after that

Let's understand it with the help of an example :

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang='en' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>

<head>

    <meta charset='utf-8' />

    <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0'>

    <title>Register | Mindstick</title>

    <style>

        body {

            margin-left: 30%;

            margin-right: 30%

        }

        .d-flex {

            display: flex;

        }

        .justify-content-center {

            justify-content: center;

        }

        .flex-column {

            flex-direction: column;

        }

        .w-100 {

            width: 100%

        }

        .m-2 {

            margin: 20px;

        }

        .mb-0 {

            margin-bottom: 0px !important;

        } 

        .text-center {

            text-align: center;

        }

    </style>

</head>

<body>

    <h1 class='d-flex justify-content-center'>Login to Mindstick</h1>

    <div class='d-flex m-1 flex-column justify-content-center'>

        <fieldset class='w-100'>

            <legend>User basic information:</legend>

            <div class='d-flex flex-column'>

                <label class='m-2 mb-0 '>First Name</label><br />

                <input type='text' class='m-2' placeholder='First Name' required /><br />

            </div>

        </fieldset>

    </div>

</body>

</html>

Here, you can see that the Margin Bottom property overwrites the Margin property due to the !impotant property.

Hope you'll get understand if you have read it carefully.
