Moving a table within your Mural workspace is a simple process, offering two primary methods to reposition it precisely where you need it: using your mouse for fluid dragging or employing your keyboard for fine-tuned adjustments.
Moving a Table with Your Mouse (Click and Drag)
This is often the most intuitive method for relocating tables across large distances on your Mural canvas.
Steps to move a table using your mouse:
- Hover over the outer edge of a table until your cursor transforms into a hand icon. This indicates that the table element is ready to be moved.
- Then, click and drag the table to its desired new position on the canvas. Release the mouse button once the table is placed.
Moving a Table with Keyboard Arrows for Precision
For making small, precise adjustments or nudging a table just a few pixels, your keyboard provides excellent control.
Steps to move a table using your keyboard:
- Select the table you wish to move by clicking on it once. A blue border will typically appear around the selected table.
- Once selected, use the arrow keys on your keyboard (up, down, left, or right) to incrementally move the table in the desired direction. Each press of an arrow key will shift the table slightly, making it ideal for alignment.
When to Use Each Method
Understanding when to use each method can streamline your workflow:
- Click and Drag: Ideal for quickly moving a table across significant distances on your mural, or for repositioning it within a general area.
- Keyboard Arrows: Best for making small, precise adjustments, aligning tables perfectly with other elements, or nudging them into an exact spot without overshooting.
Tips for Efficient Table Movement in Mural
- Zoom Level: Adjust your mural's zoom level (
Ctrl/Cmd + mouse wheelor the zoom controls in the bottom right corner) to get a better overview for large movements or to achieve precise placements when zoomed in. - Alignment Guides: Mural often displays temporary alignment lines (red dashed lines) when you move objects, helping you align tables with other elements on the canvas.
- Undo Function: Don't worry about misplacing a table; you can always use
Ctrl/Cmd + Z(or the undo button in the top menu) to revert your last action.
Moving tables in Mural is designed to be user-friendly, allowing you to efficiently organize your collaborative digital workspace for optimal clarity and flow.
