To ensure that the live mode and preview mode on Webflow have the same appearance for desktop and laptop screens while excluding iPhone optimization, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the breakpoints: The first step is to identify the breakpoints in Webflow where you want to make the necessary adjustments. In this case, you'll need to focus on the breakpoints for desktop and laptop screens.

  2. Adjust settings for desktop and laptop breakpoints: Open the Style panel in the designer and navigate to each breakpoint (desktop and laptop). Make sure that the styles you apply are consistent across both breakpoints.

  3. Use custom code: If there are specific elements or styles that are not behaving consistently across preview and live mode, you can consider implementing some custom CSS code. Webflow allows you to add custom code on a per-page or site-wide basis. Utilize this option to target any elements or styles that need fine-tuning.

  4. Exclude iPhone optimization: To exclude iPhone optimization specifically, you can use the built-in Webflow feature called "Hide on larger screens". With this feature, you can choose to hide specific elements or sections on larger screens, thereby excluding them from iPhone optimization.

  • Select the element or section you want to hide on larger screens.

  • In the Settings panel, choose the Display settings for the selected element or section.

  • Enable the "Hide on larger screens" option.

    By using this feature, you can make sure that any changes you make for desktop and laptop screens won't affect the iPhone optimization.

  1. Preview and test: Once you have made the necessary adjustments, preview your site in both live mode and preview mode. Test it on various desktop and laptop screens to ensure consistent appearance.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your live mode and preview mode have the same appearance for desktop and laptop screens while excluding iPhone optimization.
