Artboard mode provides a way to interact with your content entry that is similar to other design tools.
Edit
To Edit while in Artboard mode, use the same actions as when in the standard default Visual Editor view; for example:
- Double-click on any element in the Artboard pane to open its Edit dialogue.
- If you prefer inline text editing, toggle it on in a Text edit dialogue.
- To add blocks, drag and drop from the Insert tab.
Scroll and move
With most devices, scroll as you normally would, however, the next tips might prove helpful:
- With a touchpad, two-finger drag to move or scroll the artboard.
- With an external mouse that has a wheel, scroll with the wheel of the mouse. Move left and right, hold
Shiftwhile using the wheel. Hold down the wheel and move the mouse to move the Artboard around. - If you press the
Spacebarthe pointer changes to a hand. When you click, the hand grabs the Artboard so you can drag it.
Zoom in and out
With a touchpad, two-finger pinch to zoom in and out and two-finger drag to move the artboard. Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + or -.
With a mouse that has a wheel, hold down Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) while scrolling with the mouse wheel.
Resize
To resize the Artboard, hover over the artboard's left or right, and when the cursor changes to a horizontal arrow, drag the edge to the desired size.
As you resize the Artboard, the layout adapts to the screen size, which shows how the design displays at different viewport widths.
