Slide layout

The editor provides precise controls for moving, resizing, aligning, and selecting content blocks.

Moving & resizing blocks

Transform anchors appear around any block that is focused. These transform anchors can be dragged to resize the block in the corresponding direction. Hold the SHIFT key to maintain the original proportions while resizing. Hold the ALT key to resize around the center point of the block.

Besides dragging, you can also move blocks around by using your keyboard arrows. Each press of an arrow key moves the block one pixel, if you hold the SHIFT key each key press will move ten pixels.

Guides

Snapping occurs when you drag a block so that one of its edges aligns with another block or a grid line. It also applies when resizing a block. Whenever snapping has taken place you'll see yellow lines highlighting the point that was snapped to.

Not a fan of guides? You can turn them off in the editor settings.

Selection

Select multiple blocks to move or configure them together. Drag across the canvas to create a selection, much like selecting files on a desktop.

CTRL/CMD + A can also be used to select all of the blocks on the current slide. Finally, you can hold the SHIFT key while clicking on blocks to append or remove them from selection.
