framer breakpoint changes affecting desktop

HeyBraza shows you which breakpoint is primary and points at the change that's leaking across sizes.

you tweak the mobile layout in framer and suddenly desktop changes too - or the other way round. it's the breakpoint inheritance model: edits flow from your primary breakpoint down, and structural changes affect all sizes. here's how to edit one size without breaking the others.

or do it yourself

  1. 1set desktop as your primary breakpoint, then add tablet and phone beneath it.
  2. 2remember the rule: edits on the primary breakpoint cascade down to smaller ones; edits on a smaller breakpoint should only override that size.
  3. 3if a phone edit changed desktop, you likely edited content/structure (adding/deleting a layer) - that affects every breakpoint, not just one.
  4. 4for size-only tweaks (width, spacing, font size), make them on the specific breakpoint so they stay as local overrides.
  5. 5to undo a bad cascade, fix it on the primary breakpoint first, then re-apply the smaller-size overrides.

common questions

why do my mobile changes affect desktop in framer?

adding, deleting, or reordering layers changes structure, which applies to all breakpoints - only style overrides (size, spacing) stay local to one breakpoint.

which breakpoint should be primary in framer?

set desktop as primary so changes cascade down to tablet and phone; the primary is the source the smaller sizes inherit from.
