To edit your Squarespace website in mobile view without affecting the desktop version, you can use the Squarespace Preview Mode feature. This feature allows you to preview and edit your website as it will appear on different devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, without affecting the desktop version of your website. Here’s how to edit in mobile view without affecting the desktop version of Squarespace:

PRO TIP: If you are editing in Mobile View, be aware that any changes you make will also affect the Desktop View. For example, if you add an element in Mobile View, it will also appear in Desktop View.
  1. Log in to your Squarespace account and open the website editor.
  2. From the top menu, click on the “Preview” button and then select the “Mobile” option.
  3. You will now see a preview of your website as it will appear on a mobile device. You can navigate through your website and edit the content and layout as needed.
  4. To edit a page, simply click on it in the preview mode. This will open the editor, allowing you to change the content and layout of the page.
  5. When you’re happy with the changes you’ve made, click on the “Save” button in the top-right corner of the editor.
  6. Repeat these steps for each page on your website that you want to edit in mobile view. When you’re done, you can exit the preview mode by clicking on the “Desktop” option in the top menu.

Conclusion, the Squarespace Preview Mode feature provides a convenient way to edit your website in mobile view without affecting the desktop version. By using the preview mode, you can ensure that your website looks and functions properly on mobile devices, without having to worry about making changes that will affect the desktop version of your website.
