Wix Editor: Adding and Customizing Boxes on Your Mobile Site

In this article
  • Boxes carried over from your desktop version
  • Boxes added from the mobile editor
Boxes help to frame, organize and structure the content on your mobile site. Refine the boxes carried over from your desktop version, and customize the ones you add from the mobile editor.
When you add boxes from the mobile editor, you can fully customize their borders, shadows, colors, and spacing. When editing boxes carried over from your desktop site, you can only edit their animations or hide them.
Not sure if it's a mobile or desktop element?
Mobile-only elements display a Mobile icon  when you click them.

Boxes carried over from your desktop version
