Sorry to hear about the trouble you are experiencing, and the confusion this caused. Yes, the views are just for seeing how it will display across devices. Changing one will change how it displays on all devices. In 2016 when Arnel responded this may have been possible. I will remove these comments to clear it up going forward. Thank you, John-Paul
To clarify the comments above, the different views are for the SAME content. You can modify how the content appears in the different views, but the content remains the same. You’re basically positioning how the content appears on different size screens. Remember that the URL for the page you’re viewing is the same – you’re just viewing it on different types of screens/devices. Arnel C.
You are correct, and Arnel should have been clearer. You cannot have separate content on the different device views.
Hello BTierney, Thanks for the question about the 3 different views. Yes you can tailor the page for each view by making changes that only apply to each view. When you’re making changes in the editor, simply SELECT the view that you want to change. Then when the change is applied, it only applies to that specific view. I hope that answers your questions! If you have any further questions, please let us know. Kindest regards, Arnel C.
