Updated over a week ago

Planera now offers the Auto Layout feature to help you quickly organize elements on the Canvas. This is especially helpful when your Canvas becomes crowded with multiple activities and groups, and you want to save time organizing it manually. Auto Layout suggests different layout options for you to choose from.

To use Auto Layout:

  • Select elements on the canvas that you desire:

    • Draw a box around the elements while pressing Ctrl (Cmd on Mac)

    • Press CTRL+A to select all elements on the Canvas.

  • Right-click and select the 'Auto Layout' option from the pop-up menu.

  • The feature will suggest four different layout options for you to choose from.

  • Select the layout that best represents the project logic.

  • The selected layout will be applied to Canvas automatically.

Pro Tip: If you are not satisfied with the layout, you can press CTRL+Z to undo it and start over.
