Yes, it is possible to edit the text on the mobile version of a Webflow site without affecting the desktop and tablet versions. Webflow allows you to create different styling and layout settings for each breakpoint, including desktop, tablet, and mobile.

To edit the text specifically for the mobile version, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  2. Click on the "Devices" icon at the top of the left sidebar to switch to the mobile view.
  3. Select the text element that you want to edit. You can do this by clicking on the element directly on the canvas or selecting it from the Navigator panel on the left.
  4. Once the text element is selected, navigate to the Style panel on the right.
  5. Make the necessary changes to the text content, such as editing the text itself, changing the font, size, color, etc.

By making these changes in the mobile view, you are only affecting the styling and content for the mobile breakpoint. The changes you make here will not affect the desktop and tablet versions of your site.

It's important to note that while you can edit the text content for each device breakpoint separately, other styling properties such as margin, padding, and positioning may still affect all breakpoints. To ensure the best design consistency and user experience across devices, it's recommended to use the responsive design options in Webflow to control how elements react and adjust in different viewports.

Additional tips:

  • Utilize Webflow's global classes and symbol features to ensure consistency across breakpoints while making changes to text.
  • Preview your changes in both the Designer and the live site to ensure the text looks as desired on all devices.

Example:

In summary, you can edit the text on the mobile version of a Webflow site without affecting the desktop and tablet versions by following these steps:

  1. Switch to the mobile view in the Designer.
  2. Select the text element you want to edit.
  3. Navigate to the Style panel on the right.
  4. Make the necessary changes to the text content.

By making these changes in the mobile view, you can customize the text specifically for the mobile breakpoint, while keeping the desktop and tablet versions unchanged.
