I think we’re settling into a groove of awesome updates, new features, and announcements each week. And let me tell you, this is just the beginning
This week, we introduced a range of new improvements, like being able to globally set advanced sizing, new Wix Studio templates and more.
Take a read of the Community Weekly Roundup below for everything you’ll need to know.
Highlights (TL;DR)
- Enable advanced sizing - you asked, for a global setting. We enabled a global setting
- Tap to Pay on Android - your clients can now accept contactless payments on their Android devices without purchasing hardware.
- New Wix Studio templates - that’s right! New templates to kickstart your projects.
For the Community
I’ve seen lots of posts this week from people who have attended the Wix Studio in-person events, and I’m super curious to see the friendships and connections you forged flourish and grow.
If you haven’t already, it’s time to join the Wix Studio Discord community.
Why? Apart from being filled with amazing people, ranging from every spectrum of the industry, it’s the perfect place to keep the conversation going with the people you’ve met in-person.
We want to see and grow the local connections made to build something incredible together!

In-person training updates
With each passing week, we’ve been saying hello and goodbye to various cities, and this week is no different. We’re heading into our final weeks in New York and LA so if you haven’t joined any of these sessions, and you’ve been meaning to get around to booking something, now is the time to do it.
We also continue by beginning another awesome week in London and Toronto, and this week welcome Paris to the mix.

Enable advanced sizing across the editor
Did someone say “advanced sizing across the Studio Editor”?
That’s right! We heard the discussions you had about wanting a global setting for switching to advanced sizing.
You said:
There seems to be no “global” setting switch for “advanced” settings. Meaning every single element needs to be individually “switched on”.
And we say:
We’ve got you covered - Studio Editor: Setting the Size of Your Elements | Help Center | Wix.com
Setting your size preference allows you to work with either advanced CSS measurements across the whole site or alternatively if you prefer enabling per element as and when you need it, you can keep it that way.
Elevate site management with new filters on the All Sites page
Ever wanted to see just the sites you’re the owner on? Or perhaps sites your agency doesn’t own?
Well, we’ve added a new filter to the All Sites view in Wix Studio.
You can now navigate and filter your All Sites view in Wix Studio with the ownership filter. This allows you to find sites owned by your agency or sites owned by others.
Pretty neat!
New Studio Templates
Templates are a great starting point for projects, whether used as is, taking certain sections, or simply used for inspiration.
This week, we’ve added a selection of new Wix Studio templates:
And that’s not all, we’re working on more templates which should be available very soon
