Intuitive Editor: Manage Content with Squarespace's Drag-and-Drop Tool
Computer screens and mobile devices render pages differently, so it's essential to optimize your site layout for both experiences. The Intuitive Editor in Squarespace 7.1 helps you create different layouts for each viewing format.
The Intuitive Editor features a flexible grid system that allows you to:
- Place blocks anywhere, including overlapping positions
- Resize elements directly on the page
- Create separate desktop and mobile layouts
- Pin blocks in fixed positions while scrolling
- Add up to 60 blocks per page for optimal performance
