The current version of Dreamweaver may not seem like anything special to those in the middle of Dreamweaver Training, and if they have no mobile Web design under consideration, it may not seem like there are no important updates.

There are many pre-defined gadget sizes, and users can create their own. However, previewing does not help if users have no way to affect the various views.

Users can even modify the screen direction between the most popular sizes; portrait and landscape.
