Wow. Thanks Wade. I’d never even noticed that button and had no idea that feature was available.

It is kind of hidden in a secret menu, so I don’t blame you!

I jokingly pointed out to Wade that the button had been Gutenberg’d…you couldn’t tell it was a control…or what it might be used for …unless you were already familiar with it.

Question: where is this button located in the mobile version?

[wadestriebel]

Small and hidden in the corner

Oh, thanks.
It’s very good to know.
