Quite frequently I am working on a process that has many swimlanes. I also want to maximise the amount of space on a page and find i have to try and redistribute my swim lanes manually across the space 'eyeballing' the size of the lanes. It would be great if there is the ability to distribute swim lanes so i could keep them nice and neat on a single page?

Thanks!

Hi Amanda

Thanks for your post! Just to make sure we're on the same page in regard to intended functionality would you mind reviewing our article about how to add and format swim lanes in Lucidchart in the Lucidchart Help Center? Based on what you've described it sounds like you're looking for a way to automatically reorder swim lanes.

I have the exact same issue.  I want to modify my swim lanes to make them larger I have to stretch them each individually.  This makes for unequally sized swim lanes that in this case doesn't look right. I'd like to be able to drag them as a group and have them stretch equally.  Or at the very least set their sizing with a numerical control.
