Smart containers super useful.



But I want to change a container shape and possibly move the fields in the shape.



Is this possible?

Hi Mark

Thanks for posting in the Community!

While it is possible to modify Smart Containers it is not possible to modify their shapes.

You can modify the grouping field (container name) add new smart containers containing different shape data to your document move shapes from one container to another move smart containers adjust the column number in wrapping containers and shapes add additional fields to shapes within smart containers add a custom field and apply default styles to smart containers.

You can learn how to do all this in the following help article: Modify Smart Containers

Please note that smart containers are automatically sized equally which means all containers will match the size of the largest group. There is not currently a way to resize smart containers.
