Question
Why are my mobile and desktop layouts different on the live site compared to the Editor’s preview?

Answer
To avoid discrepancies between the Editor and live site, consider using layout tools such as Stack and Section Grid, and define minimum and maximum text scaling limits through Themes or the Inspector. Soon, you’ll also be able to set maximum widths for entire sections.
