> auto-generating mobile layouts and that the user simply needs to create a desktop layout?

Yes. This is a different blog post we have lined up and it's still somewhat experimental. At a high level, it's heuristic based, we attempt to identify elements related to each other and then sort the content in to the logical reading order using empty space between elements. We then generate different layouts for different screen sizes and embed them within the media queries.

I know that's a bit vague, but it's quite a complicated process to articulate in a comment and hopefully we can share more details soon - it's very much still BETA and not claiming we've nailed it.

Hey, op / author here. For this design, of course you could use Flex, but the purpose of the article is that a design created with a drag and drop editor by a user, could be rendered responsively. Users could overlap elements and create all kinds of complex creations that we can't slice up in to flex blocks programmatically. The grid provides a way to render just about anything, with a bit of flexibility.

100% not advocating an engineer to ever do this, we only do it because it's automated and there is no engineer present to convert a design in to a website at scale.

Potentially this could be used to remove some content (or make it appear removed) without it being highlighted. I doubt this is an issue in practice, considering there's a full audit trail and collaborators are usually trusted, but this is good feedback and we'll see if we can improve this.

Thanks! It is, it's quite hard to highlight exactly what changed regarding formatting and we found our users mostly cared about content changes.

Having said that, adding an option to include formatting changes is on our roadmap.
