Clarification on 'Locks" ?

Hello,

I'd like clarification on the 'locks' in the 'page outline'.
My workflow starts at the biggest display screen. When I finish my design work on the screen, I use the 'locks' to lock everything down for that display. Then, I start on the design work for the next largest display. Things generally work fine until I get to the three smallest (mobile) displays.

Here, everything messes up. I start making changes to the mobile display and this affects the larger displays as well. Now, I'm dealing with 'Nicepage wack-a-molly' I have to go back and fix the larger displays. This alters the work I've done on the smaller displays. Its and awful mess.

Nicepage 'locks' don't seem to work like locks. If I lock something down in the large display, it should stay locked on the large display - regardless if I'm working on a mobile display. Unfortunately, it seems that the locks are not isolated from the other display screens. When I open a lock, make changes and lock it down again, it affects all my previous work as well.

This seems very counter-intuitive to the graphic design workflow process. Each step should build on the previous step - not alter the previous step.

The documentation does not seem clear on how 'locks' are supposed to work.
Please advise, thanks,

Guy

Hi Guy,

I assume that you are talking about a single issue with adjustments in different responsive modes in several tickets. Please consider keeping one ticket to avoid duplicating.

Hi George,
Thanks for explaining this to me. I'm starting to understand that the 'hide' and 'lock' features are not very specific or precise as I expect them to be.

Should I 'hide' everything in each of the six display modes from the other 5 display modes and design each display from a blank screen?

It would be a big help if there was a way to isolate the display modes from each other, to reduce 'Nicepage wack-a-molly'.

Every other way, Nicepage is great to use. The biggest problem I'm having is with the 'wack-a-molly'.

Any advice on reducing this problem is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Guy

Hello Guy,

These buttons did not work in this way, if you choose "box" hide, it hides for a website, and this device is the full website. Also if you mean the lock button, it is used for that, when you have 5 to 6 small things, for example, text, image, layer, layer, box, small image and you have it all inside each and you want to lock those 5 6 things, lock for accidently not changed when working with the website. Imagine that you take 5 background colors with opacity shadow, and lock because it is good, and do not want accidently change something.

I should add that the 'hide' feature tend to work in a similar manner as well. If I 'hide' something on one screen, it often hides items from the other screens as well. Neither the 'lock' or 'hide' features are specific to the display that is being worked on.
