Docking, margins & padding (Layout Change in Editor)

Has your editor in Wix Studio changed too? In my editor the toolbox where you could change “docking, margins and padding” disappeared…

Mine too! Did they give us a warning? Did they beta test this to see if users really want this change? (I’m assuming they did). I cannot stand the way Wix makes these massive changes to things seemingly out of the blue. And yes, this is a massive change because we literally use docking, margins, and padding on every single element in Wix Studio.

The previous version made tons of sense because you had left, top, right, and bottom in their respective locations (left, top, right, and bottom), but with the new design, left margin is on the top-left, top margin is on the top-right, bottom margin is on the bottom-right, and RIGHT margin is on the bottom left. Design 101: make it intuitive!!

I thought it only happened to me… simply unbelievable. they went from something simple to something very unintuitive!

Hey!

The team first announced they were working on this update to dockings/margins/paddings/gaps was first announced at Open Studio in July last year.

Since then, there’s been multiple rounds of testing, feedback sessions, and a gradual rollout. That being said, I appreciate the insights and have shared this with the team :slight_smile:
