As @Louis mentioned this is in the development schedule now, I am just coming back to it to add more refinement.
Firstly, when this is implemented it will finally make the Client Canvas View in the Role Editor usable, which will be fantastic.
The mode setting itself should definitely be able to be managed in the Role Editor alongside this, giving fine-grained control.
The best way I can summarise the benefit of the feature as I see it is:
Conditionally being able to make editable properties (such as text formatting) work the same in all breakpoints. This will allow clients to update the content formatting regardless of which breakpoint they currently have selected and it will always update the Base breakpoint as defined in the breakpoint configuration.
Also, I have been wondering about the name of the toggle.
While it makes logical and semantic sense for it to relate to the breakpoints, it is also about what can be edited.
So, for example “Breakpoint editing mode”, with options:
- Changes update the selected breakpoint
- Changes update only the Base breakpoint
Something along those lines makes sense to me, what do you think?
