Resizing & Moving Content
When a slide has multiple content panels you will have the option to Resize and/or Move them.
Resize
Resizing content on a slide is much the same as on the dashboard - dragging and dropping. You will notice that, while the Storyboard is in draft mode the left and bottom sides of an active content panel have tabs. Simply drag one of these tabs to adjust the size.
Image Added
Note: When you resize a content panel, if there is a second panel on the slide it will be adjusted also. The two panels combined will always take up the same amount of space in total.
Moving
There are two layout options available on a slide when there are multiple content panels:
- Column
- Row
