Styles changing automatically

The formatting styles are changing automatically causing the layout to move and display incorrectly. I assume this is from something I clicked on, but I can’t tell as the UI doesn’t have anything indicating the styles should change.

Are Team Folders being deprecated?

We got a new enterprise subscription and we were surprised to see that the Team Folder functionality is not there. We cannot see “team folders” and we cannot create them either. Despite that, in the admin section, there seems to be some configuration around who can create Team Folders (way-to-go for UX). Is the feature being deprecated? Why? The help center is quite clear about this (link): *Enterprise accounts created after May 15th don't have access to team folders. We recommend leveraging team hubs to organize teams and share documents within your Enterprise account. Team Hubs looks like an offering around agile teams that need to separate their whiteboards and designs. As Azure SCIM (or other SSO SCIM) is not supported currently, managing users to teams is manual effort on top of everything else. Counter to that, the use case of team folders was different. Quoting the description of team folders within the admin panel: Team Folders are spaces for users to collaborate within teams o

Lucid card attributes shrunk in width with latest update of attribute columns

I have a card that I have used for almost all of my lucid charts, and a recent update has messed all of the formatting up for each one that has an attribute with text wider than half the card. When I open up any of my documents that have an attribute on a card, the cards grew in height to accommodate the text that fit just fine in the card size before.  I noticed a new “attribute columns” feature, rather than just “attributes”, but even when I set this to 1 column, it sets the width of the information very skinny, as if it’s trying to fit more columns of attributes. I’m hoping I don’t have to go into every single document and every single card to fix all my lucid charts! Help! messed up cardswhat the correct cards used to look like

MFA and SSO for single-user Professional and Individual accounts, and Team accounts

The help pages suggest the only option for enabling MFA is to have an enterprise plan. Security is not an enterprise only concern & I’ll have to look at cancelling if I can’t have MFA for my work in Lucid Chart even though I am a paying customer. Is there an option for any type of MFA ? The best answer would be FIDO2 support rather than TOTP or SMS

Issue with integrated pen on touchscreen Acer Spin 5

Hello there,First of all, I would just like to share that Lucidspark has been a dream come true for me -- it has brought my teaching to the next level, both live and virtual! I wanted to ask for some support with an interesting issue…As I mentioned in the topic, I currently access my boards via my Acer Spin 5, which is a touchscreen-enabled laptop with a built-in stylus that interacts with the screen. I have been using this laptop with Lucidspark for the past 2-3 years without any issues. Recently, however, my pen suddenly changed unexpectedly in functionality in a not-so-pleasant way.In the past, I was able to draw directly with my stylus after engaging the Pen function without pressing any buttons. I could easily switch between the other tools via keyboard hotkeys and use the pen without issue. Now, I seem to have an issue that requires me to keep the button on my stylus pressed at all times in order to engage. Interestingly, the board functions as it had before (ie: with the pen fun

Tips for building a floor plan in Lucidchart 🚧Lucid advice

Sometimes building a floor plan can be a frustrating experience, especially starting from scratch. To avoid frustration and make it as seamless an experience as possible, here are some tips!If you have an existing floorplan that you are trying to recreate, use layers in Lucidchart to trace on top of it by following the instructions in this community post. Optimize your Document Settings by disabling all snapping options. Customize or hide wall measurements by right-clicking any wall, hovering over “Wall Options”, and selecting Total Length, Split Length, or Hide Length. You can drag wall measurements to appear anywhere on the wall, including on the interior or exterior side of the wall.  Wall measurements are specific to the side of the wall where they appear. The interior wall will show a different measurement than the exterior wall. Doors can be moved to either side of a wall by dragging the box that appears in the center of the door shape. When selecting a door from the shape libra

Flowchart Data sets not showing up in Zapier

Hi all, I’m trying to use zapier to get a data set (connected to a text field in a flowchart) to update automatically when a field in google sheets is updated. Zapier can connect to my LucidChart account but cannon find any data sets, no matter how many times I update the connection and refresh it. I have the Teams Trial account on Lucid Chart right now. Just trying to figure out if this would work. Posting two screenshots for reference. Thank you!

Action link to Lucidchart document

The action link used to link a shape to another LucidChart document not working. I have tried multiple times to link a shape to another document in my LucidCharts document folder but every time I link it doesn't save the linkage. I've looked through the tutorials available and have been following each step but it's still not working.  For reference I'm in Chrome. The screenshot below is what it keeps coming back to after I've selected the document I wanted to link and hit save. You'll see that no link is saved. I was successful in linking other boxes to webpages.

Unable to link Lucidchart workflow documents to one another

I am trying to link several workflow documents together, but the connection cannot be made.  I am guessing that there may be some functionality attached to subscription levels but there is no indication that this is the case.  I have tried layering but this is problematic for workflows that are still developing or evolving.Any insight would be great.

I can't add line or background color to text boxes

It seems that te text feature is not working as expected in Lucid chart. Specifically when I add a text box to the chart, and then I try to add lines or background, the options are not available. Moreover, in any box, when I select the text and try to move it to the upper side or to the sides, the text does not move. I’m attaching the screenshot for this: unable to add lines to text box This is an example that the text does not move when moving around the text inside a shape.  I keep clicking on the “Up” button, but the text stays in the bottom of the shape.

Frustrating of constantly failed to autosave and image not able to upload properly

I’m not sure of the reason why this is happening. Basically, any of the screenshot I drag from a stimulator, it failed to upload/saved to the doc I’m working on. Well, sometimes, one or two survived. Nothing was found in the history of revision, nothing gets uploaded or auto-saved in the meantime. I’ve checked my storage where it has more than 1k GB left, and my internet is fast on both downloading and uploading. I’ve tried everything I could for this, and the support just replied me with all the trouble shooting tips on the website. I just don’t know what’s going on.
