Hi ​@Anna Pruszków 

While Lucidchart doesn't impose a strict limit on the number of swimlanes, practical considerations such as performance and usability become significant constraints around the 50-column/row mark.

Exceeding this threshold can lead to noticeable performance issues.

Some useful tips to this context in the below article

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Hi ​@Anna Pruszków, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! Thanks ​@Humas1985 so much for your insight here!


@Anna Pruszków would you mind describing what you are hoping to create in a bit more detail, and explaining your use case? This will help me see if there’s a good solution for you! I’m curious if dynamic tables would be helpful for what you are hoping to do, in which case I’d recommend the Add a Dynamic Table to a board article from the Help Center.

Hi ​@Humas1985 thank You for the answer. Can You show me, please, the way, how can I increase columns over 50 i a grid/swimlanes, if Lucidchart doesn’t limits columns?

Best Regards, 

Anna
