Layout & productivity tools
The canvas is built for fast, precise layout work — most of these tools exist so a 40-card dashboard doesn’t take an afternoon to tidy.
Precise positioning
Section titled “Precise positioning”Every card’s Layout tab has numeric X / Y / W / H inputs in grid units — type exact values instead of nudging. The toolbar’s grid density toggle switches the page between the standard 12-column grid and a condensed 24-column grid when you need finer placement.
While dragging or resizing, smart alignment guides appear whenever an edge or center lines up with another card, and snap you to it.
Multi-select tools
Section titled “Multi-select tools”Drag a marquee box to select multiple cards (hold the modifier to add to a selection; catching one card of a group selects the whole group). With several cards selected, the toolbar offers:
- Align — left, right, top, bottom, center horizontally/vertically.
- Distribute — even horizontal or vertical spacing.
- Match size — same width, same height, or same size.
Copy, paste, duplicate
Section titled “Copy, paste, duplicate”Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V copies cards — including across pages — and Duplicate
clones in place.
Format painter
Section titled “Format painter”Copy one card’s visual formatting and paste it onto one or many selected cards. It transfers the look (typography, colors, borders, axis styling…) but deliberately not content or behavior — titles, Top-N settings, dual-axis bindings, and card controls stay put.
Layers pane
Section titled “Layers pane”The Layers pane lists every card on the page as an object tree, with per-card lock (can’t be moved or edited until unlocked) and hide flags. Lock the background shapes; hide the work-in-progress card before a demo.
Mobile layouts
Section titled “Mobile layouts”The toolbar’s viewport toggle switches between Desktop and Mobile authoring. Mobile uses its own 6-column phone grid:
- Cards you position in mobile view keep their authored placement.
- Cards you haven’t touched stack full-width in reading order below the authored ones.
- If you never author mobile at all, the dashboard falls back to a clean automatic reading-order stack.
So a fully hand-crafted phone layout and “just make it readable” are both one toggle away.
