Real-time Preview | This function allows you to see a live preview of all the customizations you apply on your page. |
User-Friendly and Collapsible Window | This function allows you to drag and move the Theme Builder anywhere on your page to better see the changes you make. It is also collapsible. Simply click anywhere on your page to minimize the window. |
Closing Prompt | This function warns you about unpublished changes if you accidentally close Theme Builder using the cross icon. |
Auto-save | This function auto-saves your work if you accidentally close your browser. To see the changes you've made again, simply open the same browser you used to open Theme Builder. NOTE: We use the local browser storage to save your work. So, if for example, you used Google Chrome to open Theme Builder and accidentally closed it, you will only see the changes you've made if you use Google Chrome again to open your SharePoint page. If, for example, you use Firefox to open the page, you will not see your customizations. |
