To prevent changes made to the mobile view from affecting the desktop view in Webflow, you can use the built-in responsive breakpoints feature. This allows you to customize the design and layout of your website for different screen sizes without impacting the other breakpoints.

Here's how you can prevent changes in the mobile view from affecting the desktop view in Webflow:

  1. Open your project in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Click on the mobile breakpoint icon at the top left corner of the Designer panel.
  3. This will switch the Designer to mobile view, where you can make specific changes for mobile devices without affecting the desktop view.
  4. Customize the elements, styles, and layout specifically for the mobile view. You can rearrange, resize, or hide elements as needed.
  5. Once you're done making changes in the mobile view, switch back to the desktop breakpoint by clicking on the desktop breakpoint icon.
  6. The changes you made in the mobile view will be saved separately and won't affect the layout or design in the desktop view.

Using responsive breakpoints in Webflow is a powerful way to create a mobile-friendly and responsive website design without compromising the desktop view. By making changes within specific breakpoints, you have full control over the appearance and functionality for different devices and screen sizes.
