Note: The Safari browser is partially incompatible with the 3D Depth effect on mobile. If 3D Depth is used, portions of the flip box may show through the Nav Menu dropdown. It is not possible to use the 3D Flip Box widget and the Nav Menu widget with IOS due to issues with Safari being unable to support this option. We advise modifying the content for mobile in this case with the “hide section” option in the section’s Advanced tab in Responsive > Visibliity.
