Wow Becca! You were born to Teach! You have all the hallmarks of a great teacher. It was a pleasure to discover your channel. Your clarity is unparalleled, Bravo!
I wish wish wish SS would let us easily upgrade from 7 to 7.1. I have sites with hundreds of pages/posts and it would be a monumental task to migrate these sites so I just haven’t. Love your videos - thank you for sharing such outstanding tips/content.
I agree - it would be awesome if they let us! I'm working on a group coaching program right now to help people through the process of moving a big site over; feel free to email me if you want some details! hello(at)insidethesquare.co
I like SquareSpace but found it very restrictive in editing. This is just great ! Ive been fiddling about with my site finding new things to adjust. I didnt realise you could edit mobile separately so now it looks like I've got more work. Lol 🙂
🤩 Your comment just made my day - thank you so much for letting me know! Be sure to check out the rest of my tutorials and ask questions if you have them!
Me too!! So happy you could join us - that workshop was super fun for me; so many ideas to share, and thanks to that Q&A, so many new video ideas to work on!! LOL 🥳
Wonderful...I've been anxiously waiting for the training covering the Fluid Engine in SQSP and how to best work with it. There isn't much out there so far. I can't wait to learn more. I do teach a class that evening and may bow out a bit early but I'll participate as much as I can.
Squarespace asked us not to share anything wit the public until today and it was SO hard not to!! LOL 😅 I'd love to have you in the workshop; you'll get a chance to submit any questions before we go live and you'll get a replay that same day, so I promise you wont miss anything if you have to head out early 😉
@@InsideTheSquare Thank you Becca. I was wondering... suddenly today info is flying around YT about the Fluid Engine... Looking forward to your workshop

I find it easier to drag and drop in place in the +Block menu. Otherwise it sits in the upper left corner and feels messy. Dragging it from that menu into relative place is a cleaner work flow for me. 🥰
That's a great question - and I honestly have no idea! I have one page on my site built entirely with Fluid, but haven't upgraded a site with data to compare. I'm sure there are folks in the Sqsp community running tests right now - I'd keep an eye on the forum if I were you 😉
Becca, love this and all of your videos! I've always wanted to be able to make tables (rows & columns) and maybe this will open the door to that. What do you think?
Thank you! Love all that you do. I like Fluid Engine and am using it a lot. However, I have this bizarre thing where my text boxes don't show the little guides and I can't stretch them. have you ever run into this? It is happening on both sites I am creating! Bizarre!
That’s pretty strange - if your site isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, you should definitely contact the Squarespace support team: support.squarespace.com/
Great video! I was wondering on the video at 3:15 when you add a block you have the option to add a Gallery, however I don't have this option I can only add an image... Do you by any chance know why? Any help would be much appreciated :)

Great question! A few content blocks have different selectors, like image blocks, and I've got some workarounds that I'll cover in the workshop. And yes - you totally can! You can overlap anything inside a section, and use custom CSS to overlap blocks like images with the section above. This tutorial has some more info on that: ua-cam.com/video/fzFRJfU7CdE/v-deo.html
The fluid editor is not great. I switched from Wix to Squarespace years ago because the classic editor was better than being able to move things anywhere. If anyone else wants the classic editor back, you have to add a section and scroll to the bottom to select classic editor blocks. Hope this helps someone else who is VERY frustrated with this new fluid engine.
Great point! Definitely, a new editing experience that might be great for some and not for others. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, and the tip. If you have anymore questions or hiccups with FE, feel free to message me and I'll try my best to troubleshoot with you.
Hey RDO - glad you liked the overview! If you create a new page section in a standard page, it should be fluid automatically. If you already have a 7.1 page section, hop into edit mode and you'll see an update button. And if you don't see any of that magic, submit a help request on my site and I'll see if I can figure out why!! 😳 insidethesquare.co/code-help

I'm sorry you cant reach support! I don't work for Squarespace but i can try to help you troubleshoot. It might be the section type or page type that you're working with.

Hey Joy! Great question :) Using FE, you can create a text block and add space to it, then add an image to the grid and put it anywhere on the site, layered above or behind the text. You can also do it the old fashioned way using a markdown block - check out this tutorial for more info: insidethesquare.co/squarespace-tutorials/image-in-text
It officially rolled out today, but a little earlier to some folks. If you create a new page section in a standard page, it should be fluid automatically.

Just updated my site to the Fluid Engine.. this is a game changer for sure! Sooo easy to edit now!
Isn't is cool?! I am SO excited to see how creative people get with Squarespace now!!

Hey Becca, this is great. I'm looking forward to learning more about Fluid Engine and how to use it to make my sites even more awesome!
Glad it was helpful! I'm excited to continue working with - already redesigning my home page 😉
Girl, you are the BOMB! Thank you again. What would we do without you?
You are so welcome 🥰 Your comment just made my day - I am SO excited to share more about FE!! Stay tuned...

Wow! Thanks for the update! I’m looking forward to trying this out!

Thanks for the tutorial Becca 🙂
You’re welcome 😊
I been using for a while now.........I love it .
Me too!! Squarespace asked us to wait to talk about it publicly until today. So happy I can finally show off all it can do! 🥳
@@InsideTheSquare I was very lucky to be one the surprise Beta Testers.
Thank you for this video!! I am so excited.

Awesome video! How are you getting the grid to cover close to full width? For my site the grid only covers about two thirds of the page width. Thanks!

Such a great tip - thanks for sharing!
How does this affect the site performance? Does this upgrade add bloat to the site? Thanks!
That's a great question - and I honestly have no idea! I have one page on my site built entirely with Fluid, but haven't upgraded a site with data to compare. I'm sure there are folks in the Sqsp community running tests right now - I'd keep an eye on the forum if I were you 😉
@@InsideTheSquare Thanks. BTW, appreciate all your content :)
Becca, love this and all of your videos! I've always wanted to be able to make tables (rows & columns) and maybe this will open the door to that. What do you think?
That's a great idea - I think the rows and columns in FE will make this super easy to create & customize.
What about wrapping text around an image? I haven't figured this out how to do this with fluid engine yet ...
Great question! Feel free to submit a code help request here: insidethesquare.co/code-help

How does the new fluid engine effect the custom CSS we already have? Also, Would we be able to overlap individual pictures over sections?
Great question! A few content blocks have different selectors, like image blocks, and I've got some workarounds that I'll cover in the workshop.
And yes - you totally can! You can overlap anything inside a section, and use custom CSS to overlap blocks like images with the section above. This tutorial has some more info on that: ua-cam.com/video/fzFRJfU7CdE/v-deo.html

I have 7.1 and I'm on the journey to building my site. Is fluid engine on 7.1?
Fluid Engine is accessed by those on 7.1 sites. You can learn more here: insidethesquare.co/fluid
what if I want to add icon inside paragraph text block?
Hey Joy! Great question :) Using FE, you can create a text block and add space to it, then add an image to the grid and put it anywhere on the site, layered above or behind the text.

when is this available ?
It's available right now for anyone using version 7.1! 😃
when does it roll out?? it's not showing on my account :(
