Template Editor

Preview desktop, tablet, mobile, light, and dark modes

The live preview updates as you edit, so you can check the design before visitors see it.

Switch device size

Above the preview, select:

  • Desktop
  • Tablet
  • Mobile

Mobile preview of the help center beside the page component controls

The preview changes width without changing your page settings. Desktop layout choices such as Sidebar or Rail automatically collapse for smaller screens.

Check for:

  • Long site, category, and article titles
  • Navigation wrapping or collapsing
  • Cards that become too narrow
  • Images wider than the content area
  • Tables and code blocks that need horizontal scrolling
  • Buttons that are hard to tap

Switch color mode

Select:

  • Auto: follow the operating-system preference
  • Light: force the light palette
  • Dark: force the dark palette

Check text contrast, borders, form controls, logos, images with transparency, and any custom CSS in both forced modes.

Open a larger preview

Select Open in new tab to view the current page without the settings panel. This is useful for:

  • Checking the full page from top to bottom
  • Testing navigation and links
  • Reviewing with another team member
  • Confirming the design at the browser’s normal width

The new-tab preview still represents the draft. It is not the public live page.

Select an element to edit

Select Select to edit, then choose an element in the preview. The editor opens the matching page, region, or component settings when that element supports direct editing.

Use this when you can see what needs to change but do not know which settings panel controls it.

Preview representative pages

Do not stop at the Home page. Check:

  • A category with many articles
  • An article with headings, lists, images, tables, callouts, and code
  • Search results with both short and long titles
  • Contact
  • Not found (404)

For a multilingual help center, repeat the checks with the longest translated copy.
