You can include extra CSS classes by selecting the specific element and inputting the desired class into the “Additional CSS class(es)” field within the Advanced panel:

hide-on-mobile

Use the class to hide an element on mobile resolutions. This class ensures that the element is only visible on larger screen sizes, improving the mobile user experience by keeping the layout clean and optimized.

hide-on-tablet

Use the class to hide an element on tablet resolutions. This class ensures that the element remains visible on mobile and desktop screens but is hidden on tablets, allowing for better layout adjustments across different devices.

hide-on-desktop

Use the class to hide an element on desktop resolutions. This class ensures that the element remains visible on mobile and tablet screens, but is hidden on larger desktop screens for a more tailored user experience.

stack-on-tablet-portrait

This class is added to columns to ensure they stack vertically on tablet portrait resolutions. When applied, it transforms a horizontal column layout into a vertical stack for improved readability and usability on smaller tablet screens in portrait mode.

stack-on-tablet-landscape

This class is added to columns to ensure they stack vertically on tablet landscape resolutions. When applied, it reorganizes a horizontal column layout into a vertical stack for better viewing and interaction on tablets in landscape mode.
