Optimizing Demos for Mobile Viewing

While demos are optimized for web browsers, you can also set your demo to be viewable on mobile phones!

Setting Up The Mobile View

Open up the template settings by clicking on the gear wheel  in the top right corner of the editor. Then open the Display Options tab. 

First set your display options to Proportional fit or Fixed Width. This will ensure your screen scales proportionally to the browser its viewed on, or according to the width you set.  With these display settings set, you can then toggle on the mobile screen view below.

Hit save and enjoy viewing the demo on your mobile phone! When viewed in portrait mode, the demo guides will appear beneath the template screen.

When viewed in landscape mode, the demo guides will appear over their selected elements.

Important to Note 📝
