Managing Design View Settings (Responsive Starter Store)

Note:

The Design View in Intershop Commerce Management is only available for the deprecated Responsive Starter Store. For a similar content editing experience with the Intershop Progressive Web App (PWA), use the Design View provided by the Content Management Center within the Intershop Administration Portal. For details, refer to the Content Management Center User Manual.

You can preview pages and components using an existing channel application.
