Further Manage Custom Shapes Library in Lucidchart

Hey Jared

Thank you for posting in the Community!

To reorganize and rename shapes:

1. Click on the “+ Shapes” button at the bottom in the left Toolbox.
2. Find and select your custom library under the “Custom” category.
3. Right-click on a shape to reorganize and rename the shape.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need anymore assistance. Happy diagramming!

Right-clicking doesn't let you reorganize the order IN the custom library. The Move option pulls up a list to move between libraries but not change the order. The way the library is organized by default makes zero sense. It's not based on file names from what I can tell and not being able to sort the shapes is a major misstep. See the photo below. That's how Lucidchart chose to sort these by default and I can't rearrange from what I can see.

I was coming here to post this exact question (or i guess now a feature request) -  i have several very large shape libraries and need to re-organize them a bit.  (ie mainly move my most frequently used shapes up to the top).

it seems only option currently is to do what Megan W  described as in that screen you can drag the shape around to re-organize.  This is a nice feature  but does not work well when you have large shape libraries .  (i have some shape libraries ive successfully imported from Visio into lucid that have 100s of shape  one has 500+  (so dragging one shape at a time all the way to the top really does not work)

ideally we need a page to manage your shape library where you can select multiple shapes and drag/re-organize them.  or another option-  right click shape and have a Move to Top move to bottom action.

(or an ability to set a shape lib to sort by various criteria;  ie:  sort by-  Date added  date last used  Alphabetical  size ect

tks
