Mobile Editor
To view the mobile version of your website, click on the mobile phone icon in the top toolbar:
By default, website elements are displayed on the mobile view in the order they've been added to the desktop view. Even if you later reorder elements on the desktop view, these changes are not automatically applied to the mobile version. You can sort the elements on the mobile view manually. This way, you can lay out elements differently on desktop and mobile views.
