Using the mobile Editor, you can add elements that are exclusive to your mobile site. Add text, images, buttons, embeds and other elements that are completely optimized for small screens. 
As mobile-only elements don't appear on your desktop site, you can design them as you wish, adjust the layout and duplicate them for easy editing. This allows you to replace desktop elements that aren't suitable for mobile, or create a completely different look just for mobile. 

Adding mobile-only elements

Add mobile-only elements to tailor your site completely for visitors on mobile devices. Add elements like text, images, buttons and more from the Add to mobile panel in the mobile Editor.
