Is there any feature that helps resize/arrange flowcharts as new info is added, so they fit on a certain paper size (8.5x11, A4, etc)? I can manually manipulate things, but it would be nice if the software could help me adjust the flowcharts as new decision points and tasks are added, such that it still fits on the page size I need to print.

Adjust swimlane size for standard paper sizes?

I see what you are saying. If I were experiencing that, I might select all objects on the board and resize to fit into the printing format, but I do see what you mean. In the meantime, if you are open to it, you can submit your idea here where others can vote on it and our product development team can put that idea onto our backlog in the future.

Hi
To customize your layout, you have to rely by manually resize swimlanes and shapes by selecting them and dragging to your desired size.
To learn more - Set swim lanes to a consistent size in Lucidchart | Community
Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

You can set the size of your canvas to reflect that page size as you are creating your board. Go to the menu at the top of the board and navigate to Board Settings, then Open board settings, and from that pop up menu you can deselect Infinite Canvas, and then choose the size you prefer. I did this in Lucidspark, but the steps are very similar in Lucidchart.
See my screenshot below:

Agreed and thank you. But it appears there is no functionality that helps resize a flowchart to stay within a particular page size, as new information is added. For example, let’s say you choose 8.5x11” and cram it full of information. Then, you discover you need to add 2 new steps, but they push you beyond the board’s perimeter.
