The layer manager can be used in powerful ways to optimize a page layout for different devices.
For example, you could have a large, wide image displayed on desktop but hide it on mobile devices and instead reveal a smaller, narrower design for mobile. This feature allows you to create a different visual experience based on screen size using the built-in viewports (Desktop, Large Tablet, Tablet, Large Mobile and Mobile). You can see your page across all 5 viewports by clicking the different screen sizes in the top toolbar.
The initial screen in the builder is the Desktop layout. Should you need to see some items on desktop, but no on the on the smaller screens, you can open the Layer Manager. Once open, click on the element in the Layer Manger or directly on the page. Then, click the eye icon to hide that element from view.
The eye icon now has a strikethrough line through the icon to show the layer is hidden from view.
To show the element once more, click the eye icon again. You will need to repeat this process for each screen size.
Alternately, you may also show and hide elements using the Visibility toggles in that element's settings. Click the element and open the Settings menu. Then click the Visibility toggles to turn visibility on or off for each screen size as needed.
