Working with objects

When you add shapes, images, text, drawings or web content to your workspace, they become objects that you can move around and manipulate. You can select, resize, rotate and move an object or multiple objects in your workspace.

ClosedTo select an object

  1. Tap Select or Pan.

  2. Tap the object you want to select.

    Tip 

    To select multiple objects, tap the Select tool and draw a box around the objects you want.

    A selection rectangle appears around the object or objects.

    The gray circle in the object’s lower-right corner is a resize handle.

    The green circle above the object is a rotation handle.

    The box in the object's top-right corner are the initials of the person who created the object.

ClosedTo resize an object

  1. Select the object or objects.

  2. Drag the object’s resize handle (the gray circle) to increase or reduce the object’s size.

ClosedTo rotate an object

  1. Select the object or objects.

  2. Drag the object’s rotation handle (the green circle) in the direction you want to rotate the object.
