    So is it possible to change the actual layout of the page based on the different breakpoints, because once you move something through the navigation it moves on all screen sizes. For example if I wanted to have the side bar at the side but then want it at the top would I be able to do without CSS grid and and manually manipulate it for different breakpoints.

In your video at 0:58 when I click on the tablet breakpoint, it doesn't change to 768px, instead it changes to 985px -> which is almost the same as the Desktop. I have no clue why, I tried finding a delete button on the breakpoint or settings, but I cannot find any. I am stuck, can you please help me. This bug is really annoying because I can't preview in tablet quickly. Thanks.

    In min 0:43 you talk about sizing and spacing and that fixing something on smaller views, will automatically generate a class. I don't see that class when fixing something on a smaller view. Base breakpoint already passed down a class and a combo class. Issue: my typo on base breakpoint looks fine, but it needs to be adjusted on smaller views. Do I need to create another class on smaller breakpoint, or is styling typography on smaller breakpoint enough?

  • @Webflow

    No. You do not need to create a new class when styling for other breakpoints. Just go to that breakpoint that you want to make a style change on, click on the element you want to make a style change on, then apply your style change. Hope this helps :)

    I have experienced a common type of situation in which I have two columns, text on the left side and an image on the right side. Switching to the mobile breakpoint it drops the right column down. But I really would like to have the image on top. So I duplicate that column and disable it on desktop and only enable it on mobile. I change the order of the columns and then my image appears on top. My question: Is there a more efficient way to create a responsive column that drops the column you want to drop? On the column settings you can easily change it from multiple columns to one column on smaller displays, but not the order of the columns. I think it would be a nice feature to have it there.

    Hi Areeb! Yes, you can apply different styles at each break point. Please note that styles cascade down. So if you want a style to apply to all break points, start at the "all breakpoints" setting. Then move down to Tablet to create new styles which won't affect the desktop breakpoint.

    actually I was surprised that they don't mention it in the video, but the trick is to use the display parameter. You just copy-past your element so that you have it twice, lets call em A and B, and you make the changes you want on B(this will be the "different content" you're looking for). If you want element A on a certain screen size, then dont touch anything and let its display parameter be on block(or inblock) and put the display paramater of element B on non-visible. and vice-versa beyond breakpoints in which you want content B but not content A

    Hi, SQUAREVISION! Changes made on Tablet only affect Mobile landscape and Mobile portrait, as it's designed to prevent changes on smaller Tablet screens from overriding things on the Base breakpoint (Desktop). We're hoping to make this more versatile in the future, but for now, unfortunately, this means you'll have to reapply the changes you made on Tablet to the Desktop breakpoint. 😞
