When I search for chevron in Shapes search it says "No search results...". I also don't see a shape library called "Chevron Shape". How do I find this? This lack of a simple chevron shape has long been the main shortcoming in LucidChart for me.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the feedback. Your best bet might be to make a Custom Shape out of a flex polygon. Once you get the shape you need you can right click and save that shape to a Custom Library. You can also import an image and save it as a shape if you want to bring in a chevron from and outside source.
