The Top Bar

The menu bar at the top of Editor X contains several tools and settings to help you manage your site. Have a look through the menus to see what you can do.

The Canvas & Custom Breakpoints

Your canvas is the site editing area of your workspace. This is where you can see and design your pages for different screen sizes so that they always look just as you want. 
At the top of your workspace, you can access preset breakpoints for the most common devices (desktop, tablet, mobile) and create custom breakpoints as well. 
Click the breakpoint icons at the top to design for the different viewports, or use the resize handles on the side to see how the design behaves as the screen becomes wider or narrower. Learn More
