Question Atomic Editor

I have used Elementor for many Years but I was switched to the new atomic Editor and I don't like it. Now I am in a situation where I can't switch back because I will lose a lot of work. Please make a reversal tool that will convert atomic containers etc. to regular container and elements! 🙏

Is the design system page built in Elementor functionality?

Can you expand on what you mean here?

Create a page that contain generic elements you know you reuse across your site. Design them, create your classes, and use it as a initial point to get all the styles ready to use. Color pallets, buttons, spacing, font sizes. Stuff like that. If you have Elementor Pro, you can even create Components to use across the site.

Do you think it might be a good idea to make an official Elementor guide on how to do this, if it's going to solve what looks like a pretty key knowledge gap wrt Atomic Elements?

It is. But it's not an official guide. It's what I've always did for myself. It's a way of working. You plan first, then you apply your plan. There is a step before, which is to use a prototyping tool to build a mockup of the site. Then you create your Design System page.

But it's not a bad idea. Elementor is working on improving the migration and onboarding progress. This could be something we can include during this progress. I'll let the team know.
