Silex is desktop first. Styles you set on Desktop apply everywhere. Switch to Tablet, Mobile Landscape or Mobile Portrait and each change is wrapped in a max-width media query: 992px, 768px, 480px.
So you only override what breaks, and the rest carries down from Desktop.
The breakpoints page explains this cascade, with a 41-second video. If a step doesn't match your editor, the "Edit this page on GitLab" link is at the bottom.
Google quietly shut down its free Business Profile websites (the .business.site pages) in 2024. Many small local businesses lost their page, with no export.
If that is you, or a client, here is how to rebuild a simple site you actually own, with open source:

Silex 3.10.0-canary.4 is out, a prerelease for testing
In Silex Desktop each site card says Draft, Live, or ! when it needs you
Sites in a subfolder on Codeberg or GitLab Pages get their CSS and images
The Linux AppImage now works on Arch, JGMelon22 already updated the AUR package
Pages are now published as folders, read the notes first
