Build with clearer controls

Add page elements by clicking or dragging them into place. Page selection, block actions, navigation settings, and release controls are easier to use with a keyboard. Publishing messages explain the remaining release step. New text and button blocks follow your saved brand settings. Preview controls fit the available workspace on smaller screens.

Preview the mobile layout

Switch from Builder to Preview to see your current draft rendered with Flutter. Custom-page blocks and carousels use the same rendering styles as the member app. Switching back keeps your content and selection. A connection problem shows a clear retry option so you can return to editing without losing work. Phone and tablet previews keep their mobile screen dimensions when zoomed. Check larger text sizes from the toolbar, and tap links or cards for destination feedback. Reconnecting a preview preserves its saved theme and current draft.

Prepare and release connected content

Save drafts while you work, publish each completed design, page, navigation, or component, then publish a release when the set is ready for members. Release checks help catch missing or unpublished destinations. If you use custom navigation, keep at least one navigation item visible.

Keep the member experience consistent

Released theme settings apply to the member app, and text blocks render Markdown formatting. A failed refresh preserves the last successfully loaded design. Church and account changes clear cached customization so an earlier church’s design does not carry into the next session. Custom backgrounds keep text readable, including nested sections and hero slides without artwork. Carousels support swiping and previous/next controls, and pause autoplay during interaction or when reduced motion is enabled. A failed feed load offers a retry, while unopened navigation tabs wait to load their content. Event cards show readable dates and times, including recurring gatherings.
