Re: Mobile Variant - pages not auto updating

I have tested by changing a word on the Home page, and found that it did cross update to the variant home page.
But on other pages, the text does not update, or did not carry over to start with.
Finding either the first paragraph or text box, maybe on the variant, or finding nothing at all past the banner photo and title.
One page that did not carry over has a large drawing, in JPG format, about 1250x800 resolution.
Another page, I put in some initial sample text, which populated to the variant, but not the new text nor icons I loaded.
I have searched for "variants not updating" and other variations, in the forum and the help pages, with no results.
So another newbie failure and question...
Why do variants not cross update at times ?
Hey @Frolin. I’ve always found it tremendously useful to use the “getting started” template in your folder in the program. This is an elementary site with all of the features mentioned above. You’ll find all the basics that you need to understand.
Depending upon the template that you’ve chosen you may be confused with some of the more complex features that Xara offers.
Check out the “welcome” template, or whatever it’s called. There’s lots of sharing, and repeating of many of the elements without being overly complex. Have some patience and have fun. Rome was built in a day.
