Mobile Formatting

With the Drag-drop and Contentbox editors, you can set mobile-only formatting options via the dedicated Mobile Styling popup window or via the Style Editor popup.

There are also Contentbox section and Image specific options available.

How to launch the Mobile Styling popup (changing the editor to mobile size)

Changing the Editor Size to MOBILE or clicking the MOBILE ICON in the Contentbox editor will reduce the viewport to a mobile width and launch the Mobile Styling popup window.

You can then click into different areas of content (or navigate to different areas of content via the navigation at the top of the popup) and apply various settings.

You can launch by clicking the EDITOR SIZE dropdown and selecting the Mobile option.

In the Contentbox editor you can also click the mobile icon found top-right of the editor.

The content view and Mobile popup when mobile mode is activated.


Launching the Mobile Styling popup via keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + M

You can launch the Mobile Style popup without changing to Mobile mode via CTRL + ALT + M.  You will need to ensure you have clicked into the page to focus the browser / enable keyboard shortcuts.

This will launch a persistent popup window that will stay visible as you navigate around pages. When you close the window via the X icon top right (or by the same keyboard shortcut) it will no longer appear when changing pages.

The editor will not change to the mobile view automatically with this approach

Launching a Mobile preview popup window

To view a full Mobile preview with the template included, click the LAUNCH MOBILE PREVIEW button at the base of the popup. This will load the site in a new moveable popup.

Saving changes to the page after applying mobile settings will refresh the preview window.

If there are multiple elements of the type you select, e.g. Columns, Images or Text, you can navigate between them using arrow buttons that appear at the top of the modal.

Within the mobile settings you will find sections for Font Size, Text Alignment etc, click to open a section to see the options.
