Unable to unsync widgets/formatting between screens

Hello all!

I'm trying to create a separate screen view in Experience Builder - no matter how much texting I do between the Auto and Custom setting, it seems to always sync my formatting and widgets across all of the screen types.

It's probably a really obvious setting - how do I stop it from syncing the layout/format across all the screens? For example - I want to change the title to be a different size on the smartphone view, but I want it to be larger on the desktop view. But even with custom checked, it keeps syncing the layout.

(view in My Videos)

If anyone know if the documentation that has this setting, feel free to share it with me. I tried searching for it, but it's getting very confused between the custom vs auto settings for width and height.

Thank you!

The settings in the Style Tab of the Settings Panel can be independently set for each screen size, but the settings in the other tabs cannot be set independently.

To get the text size to change smoothly between screen sizes, make a copy of the Text Widget and send the original to the Pending List. Then adjust the size in the copy. You will need to do this for each screen size. So your Desktop view will have a Tablet and Mobile size Text Widget in it's Pending List, and so on...

I just tried it and I figured it out - but the copy doesn't work, I had to duplicate it (not copy-paste)

Does this mean I have to duplicate/copy/send to the pending list every section and widget of the window that I just created????

This is literally.....the most infurating thing I've ever seen.....

Maybe not all of them, but if you are making changes that are not covered in the Style Tab, you will need to use the Pending List.

@SaraJL, give this Idea a kudo if you'd like to be able to customize font size across device views.
