Responsive preview refers to viewing your campaign as it would appear on different devices – mobile phones, tablets, and desktops. Most supporters view campaigns on mobile devices, so make sure your campaign looks great on all devices!
Make sure your story looks great on ALL devices: Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile views. We’d hate for you to spend an hour making sure your campaign looks perfect on a desktop only to have the mobile version look not so great…
ALL pictures and columns will line up one on top of the other in mobile mode, so be careful of big spaces, squished lettering, and other general funkiness that might appear if you haven’t been factoring this in.
Navigating to the responsive preview #
Click the eye icon next to ‘View campaign’ or ‘Visual editor’ in your campaign’s navigation menu. There is no difference between the two.
View your campaign in all modes by clicking the options in the top-left of the preview screen.
