There are priorities in CSS files. When there are multiple elements coming from multiple stylesheets, from multiple CSS sources, there are priorities.

In ascending order of priority, from lowest to highest, you have:

  • Browser default properties
  • External stylesheets
  • Internal stylesheets
  • Inline styles

The highest priority goes to inline styles, which is actually what we recommend you use.

Otherwise, you have the !important declaration, which means it is possible to override all these priorities by using the !important value.

For example:

h1 { font-style: bold !important; }

Here, this means that h1 can be defined in an inline, internal, or external stylesheet β€” it doesn't matter. With the !important declaration, h1 will always be displayed in bold because the priority of !important is the highest.
