One more reason

Styles might not show outside of Microthemer if you add styles via a media query tab e.g. “< 1200”. Such styles will only affect screen sizes up to 1200px, but not wider. So if you view the page at full width outside of Microthemer, you will not see your styles there.

Sometimes users accidentally add styles via a responsive tab, when they actually should add the styles via the “All Devices” tab. To move styles between tabs, go to the responsive tab code editor and then cut and paste the CSS code to the “All Devices” tab code editor.
