In response to valuable user feedback, Vsble is rolling out enhanced updates, starting with the Barcelona template, soon to be followed by updates across existing and new templates. While templates can still be switched seamlessly, note that new features will only apply to updated versions; older versions, though available for now, will be phased out over time. This new system brings higher flexibility and customization while balancing choice and stability, with every element responsively set for any device—no extra adjustments needed!
Currently when you configure Barcelona V2.0 template the changes will stay when changing to older templates - the settings however will not be available. We will gradually update all templates and introduce new ones enabling the settings for all templates in the future.

1. Enhanced Template Flexibility
Unique & Standard Layouts: Templates now include unique, styled layouts with animations, unusual grid patterns, unique layout positioning and also standard grid layout alternatives for both pages and albums, allowing seamless mixing of styles. Modes can be selected separately for each page for desktop and mobile.

You can set the page display mode in each page settings under the display mode separately for desktop and mobile views. This allows you mix styles, or set the style mode for the landing page, while keeping other pages in standard mode style.
