I went to change the layout of the mobile site to tighten things up, but when I made changes they updated to the desktop version too. I was using WPBakery front end editor, switching to mobile view with the drop down menu on the top right to the left of the backend editor button.
Is this how its supposed to work? Is there a better way?
The Layout inherits from the desktop version for the mobile versions. Unfortunately, you could not select a different layout for the mobile view. It requires customization and this is beyond our limitations and support policy.
The drop down you mentioned is just only to preview the changes on different devices.
