Can content in swimlanes be sent back or brought to the front of a diagram?

Hi,

I'm currently unable to use the 'Arrange' option for swimlanes; the feature now appears greyed out or disabled. I was able to use this function easily before. Could you please explain why this was changed in Lucidchart?

Hi @rizwanzafar337, thank you for posting in the community! To use the arrange functionality, you will need to enable assisted layout. This feature automatically aligns objects for a clean, structured workspace by snapping items into a grid pattern and adjusting container size as you add or remove content. The arrange option should become available once assisted layout is enabled for your swimlane shape.

Hope this helps! Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
