My Woo layout looks quite different during editing to the actual front end. The font settings I saved on each product don’t seem to make it either.

I’m getting a very similar issue, but mine is with archive pages. I set them up and design it then on preview it looks nothing like it and seems to be getting all the design features of the stack.
I’m using beta 5 though.
I suspect this is related to the assignment conditions set in the layout builder
something similar to this
Hey Scot,
Even with condition set:
I’m still getting no changes to the frontend what so ever.
I’ve even tried just added a color section with a simple heading on the archive page and it doesn’t show that either. I think it’s more that the archive layout isn’t replacing the stack archive layout.
Ahh the condition you want for the blog index is ‘Blog is being viewed’
my original screenshot was from the blog page design
also set your preview (bottom left panel) to preview ‘front page’ assuming you have set a blog index page in wordpress settings

Awesome! Thanks for this @scotbaston!
Got it working now.
So let’s say I wanted to have a different layout for a blog index page that has a specific category. Would I then need to have the condition set to Blog is being viewed AND Post Category is "Specific Category"?

Glad that helped…
as for the category… not entirely sure… try just the post category and the version you have above and see which works?
Hi @scotbaston:
- My original ticket is about a Woo archive page
- Why is the editor page covered with dark grey? / The live page is grey
Bill
@BrandexPublishing Hi Bill,
the editor page being dark grey and the live page being light grey points to the same issue… for whatever reason, (probably the conditions or maybe the priority) your entire layout design is not being applied to the page that you want.
You’ll probably hear back from themeco shortly with a better answer than mine 
Hey everyone,
I’ve sensed this disconnect while using the Layout Builder, and even the Header/Footer builders. It’s not always clear that what you are previewing is actually doing something on the front end. I think what we’re going to do here to solve this concern is have a gentle warning that tells you that the Layout hasn’t been assigned yet, and it will prompt you to add an assignment. That will also help with the Layout Builder onboarding experience because it will help you finalize things.
Setting a rule for Post Category is enough to make it apply the layout. The “Blog is being viewed” option is for the main blog page before you are viewing specific taxonomies.
