Add collaborators!

New Feature

Block Visibility by Device

August 31, 2022

At Softr, we try to make each block look great on different devices by default, but we understand sometimes you need more control over what to show on each device type.

With this new feature, you can now hide/show a block on specific devices, allowing you to create different variations of the same block!

To set this up, open a block's setting panel > Visibility tab > Block visibility by device

P.S. Currently, the setting will only take affect in a live app (not in editor or preview mode). We'll improve this in upcoming releases.
