I can't change two of the shapes in my document. What am I doing wrong? All of my other shapes are changeable.

Hi @INCBUS ,

Thanks for following up!

Basic shapes in Lucidchart can be changed by clicking on the shape you want to modify, then selecting the Change Shape icon that appears just above the selected shape. This option is available for shapes from the Basic Shapes and Flowchart shape libraries.

I have attached a screenshot below to show you exactly how it works. Let me know if you do not see the icon on your end and I’d be happy to take a further look.

Hi Nikky

Thanks for posting on the community. It is only possible to change a shape on shapes from the basic shape library or flowchart shape library. If you would like to see it available for other shape libraries please fill out a feature request form here.

I have a square shape and would like to change it to a round shape. I do not see the Change Object menu in the top-left corner of the Context Toolbar as per the Lucidchart help.

Can you please advise.

Thanks,
