Resizing items on a slide

You can resize an item on a slide by using its resizing handles. When you resize items such as images and text titles, they keep their aspect ratio. Paragraph texts and certain shapes can be resized more freely, both horizontally and vertically.

Snapshots can be resized in two different ways: locked, so keeping the aspect ratio, or unlocked, for free resizing, which also causes the snapshot to use progressive disclosure.

Information noteProgressive disclosure. When you increase the size of a visualization, its information is disclosed progressively. If you reduce the size, the visualization's information is reduced, which allows you to focus on the essential information and avoid cluttering the visualization with too much information in too little space.

Resizing in general

Do the following:

  1. In storytelling view, click on the item you want to resize.

  2. Drag one of the resizing handles to resize the item.

  3. Release the resizing handle.

The item is resized.
