 * Template looks good when I’m logged in. After logging out, I do not see a section.
   Everything is empty. Why are there differences between logged in and logged out
   modes? Where can I change that the live preview shows the actual state?
    Best

 * Hi Damian,
 * The difference you see is because we are using sane defaults. Sane defaults are
   only visible to logged in users, as they are just defaults, and need to be changed
   on an actual site. This is how sane defaults work.
    So, you would need to actually
   change the default values in Appearance > Customize to be able to see the changes
   on your site, even when not logged in. Please let me know if that helps.
 * Regards,
    Rodica

 * Apperance>customize>front page section>You need to do some changes in the section
   and save the changes.
    After saving changes, the section is displayed even for
   non-logged users.
