I’m having trouble with designing repeating elements with consitency. It doesnt seem to be possible to make a component just like an asset and when you change it, it changes globally. that leads to countless hours of correcting mistakes and i loose the overview over my site. how could this extremely important feature be missing? If i have one element that occurs 3x over every 5 pages of my website with 4 breakpoints im going to need to do about the exact same adjustment 60 times.
If I understand correctly, you are right that assets don’t update across sites once added to the site. Global sections do update across the site as you can see here: https://youtu.be/jrktXTy87rE
You could update the asset as needed on your site and then add it as a new asset to the site to avoid having to update it on every page.
Something I would suggest that can help with the speed of designing multiple elements across pages and breakpoints is using CSS on the elements. This way you can add a custom CSS class and it will update the elements based on the class. This video’s timestamp shows someone adding a gradient box shadow to multiple elements by adding a class: https://youtu.be/xynm4m83CqM?t=1431
You could also design per breakpoint with CSS if you needed: Using media queries - CSS | MDN
Thank you for your Answer which is partially helpful, but also not really. The idea of wix studio is to make website building easier – isnt it? In a lot of cases it actually does. But the re-using of element properties and having them synchronized if you want is just such a basic concept in webdesign and i can only hardly understand why this feature is still missing. this is the entire reason why html and css are seperatet, so that you dont have to assign values to every single unique item but you can save time by reusing properties. yes i could use code but then why should i even bother to use wix studio…
yes you can have a global element, but it cant display variable content.
yes you can have an asset, but there is no feature to automatically update it to every place its occuring if you only slightly change the design of it.
wix studio will only ever be a really professional tool if something like is available and you can actually save time.
