About Responsiveness in Smart Builder
At this time, there are three breakpoints in Smart Builder. This way, visitors on different devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and desktops, will see a landing page custom to their screen size. The three breakpoints are:
- 425px or smaller (e.g., mobile devices),
- 426-768px (e.g., tablet devices), and
- 769px or higher (e.g., desktop devices).
-
Do note that the background of your landing page can stretch to the edges of the page. However, the max width of content for a page section is 1200px.

Toggling Between Different Screen Sizes in Smart Builder
- Navigate to your landing page in the Smart Builder.
- At the top right-hand corner of Smart Builder, locate the Desktop
icon.
- Click the arrow
to toggle the drop-down menu, and select the Tablet
or Mobile

- To toggle back to the desktop version, click the arrow again and select the Desktop
icon from the drop-down menu.
Changing the Layout of the Mobile or Tablet Version of your Page
- Navigate to the mobile or tablet version of your landing page in Smart Builder.
- Locate the section you’d like to change to a different layout.

Will making edits to the mobile or tablet version impact the desktop version?
At this time, the following edits made to the mobile or tablet version will also change the desktop version, and vice versa:
- Updating the text, such as editing content in headings, paragraphs, buttons, and
- Deleting a section.
All other changes will not.
Instead of deleting a section, hide it from that version via the Content tree, as explained in the next section of this article.
Hiding Elements in Smart Builder
