Responsive editing

Responsive editing made easy

The latest Instant release made responsive editing a lot easier and more intuitive. All fields in the design panel now include clear indicators in the field label if any responsive edits have been added. 

Besides showing the responsive edits for the current viewport (in blue), we also show the responsive edits of other viewports (in green) to make it clear where a specific value is coming from.

Additionally, we’ve added the functionality to reset responsive values for an element. This can be done on a field level or for all the fields of the element at once for a specific viewport.
