When I try to move my entire chart in Lucidchart sometimes my shapes are altered or the format changes. Could I get some assistance please?

Hi Pedro

To move your entire chart from one place to another follow these steps:

  1. Ctrl + A to select all on the page then click and drag the content to move it where you would like.
  2. If you want to move a few specific shapes that may not be close together you can hold down Shift and click on each object you'd like to move then drag them or copy/paste them into the correct destination page/document.

If you encounter any trouble doing this try moving a smaller selection or try grouping (Ctrl+G) the content before moving it. This can be helpful if you have a lot of connected shapes. Make sure to ungroup (Ctrl+Shift+G) the content so you can edit it again. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
