Recommended practice
Device-specific modules
Training showed cloning a headline module, hiding one on desktop and the other on mobile, so each device gets its own size. Prefer a responsive layout; if you do use this, check both previews to confirm only one version shows on each device.
Reusable sections
Saved sections were discussed but not fully demonstrated.
Caivan example
“Thank you for registering” wraps awkwardly on iPhone. You shorten the headline rather than creating two versions.
Completion checklist
Common mistakes and troubleshooting
Both versions show on mobile.
One module isn’t set to hide on mobile. Check visibility settings on each.
