Selecting elements

Everything on your page is an element: headings, images, buttons, sections. To change one, select it first.

Selecting needs Edit mode. If hovering over the canvas does nothing, click Edit in the toolbar. See Browse and Edit.

Select an element​

  1. Move your mouse over the canvas. Elements highlight as you hover.
  2. Click an element to select it. A blue outline appears around it.
  3. The edit panel on the right shows its styles and settings.

For small or overlapping elements, click them in the Layers panel instead.

With an element selected on the canvas, press Enter to select its first child, or Shift+Enter to select its parent.

Resize an element​

Many elements show small handles on their edges when selected. Drag a handle to resize.

  • Sizes snap to 4px steps. Hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) for exact pixels.
  • Images keep their proportions when you drag a corner. Hold Shift to change them freely.

The new size is saved the same way as setting it in the edit panel.

Edit text​

  1. Double-click any text on the canvas.
  2. Type your changes. A text toolbar appears with font size, B, I, U, alignment, text color and Rewrite.
  3. Press Esc or click outside the text to finish.

Rewrite opens the Edit with AI bar with new wordings to pick from.

Replace images, videos, audio and icons​

Double-click a media element to open its picker.
