Responsive Design View: Use the drop-down to select a specific screen width, to

When a template is open, the workspace also shows a ruler and guides (see "Guides" on
page215).
Preview tab
The preview tab shows the template as it will output with the current record (see "Loading data"
on page239), with the personalized content (see "Personalizing Content" on page237).
Although it is possible to edit the template in Preview mode to a certain extent, it is
recommended to do all editing in the Design mode.
Source tab
The source tab displays the HTML source for the template, including HTML Headers, CSS and
HTML code. The source is displayed in a color-coded text editor, to quickly visualize the code.
In this tab changes and adjustments can be made to the code. For shortcuts that can be used in
this editor, see "Text editors: Source tab, JavaScript, CSS, Script Editor" on page376 and
"Emmet" on page109.
To the left of the Source tab, a bar helps visually identify the start and stop of an element. For
example when clicking on the opening <table> element, this bar marks the whole <table> and
all its contents, until the ending </table> tag.
