What should I do if my Pattern isn't showing up in the Dynamic Device block?

If your Pattern isn't displaying, ensure that you've selected it correctly in the Pattern dropdown after adding the Dynamic Device block. Additionally, check that the Layout is set to Normal and that you've created the Pattern beforehand. If the Backend Visibility toggle is on, it may affect your editing experience, so consider turning it off for better visibility.

What is the best setting for loading content in the Dynamic Device block?

For optimal performance, consider using the Standard AJAX load option.

Ensure that the Enable Ajax Templates toggle is activated in the Nexter Blocks settings to use this feature.
