 * Hi, I was working on your page builder. Everything was going fine. As I switched
   to WordPress default editor. It loosed all my setting, when I switched back to
   Page Builder Editor. My opinion is this ,we must use short-codes as like other
   plugins use them. So, if for some reason, someone behaves like me then there 
   will no chance to loose his/her code/data.

 * Hi Zubair
 * When you switch from Page Builder, back to the Visual Editor, you should get 
   a message that lets you know you’ll be switching back to using the standard Visual
   editor. You can’t use both at the same time.
 * There is a very simple solution though. If you need to insert a shortcode, then
   you can use a SiteOrigin Editor widget. This is a full rich-text TinyMCE editor
   as a widget. It’s just like the full WordPress Visual Editor. You can enter your
   shortcodes there, then move them around your page.
 * If you need to restore the content you lost, then you can do so using either 
   the history browser or the core WordPress post revision functionality.
 * I hope that clears things up. I’ll work on improving the documentation and interface
   to clarify this behaviour.

 * Let me know how it goes. We’re here to help. And let us know if there’s anything
   we can improve in Page Builder to turn your review into a 5-star review 🙂
