Change Sticky Note to standard object in Lucidchart

How do I change sticky notes into normal objects? I can't remove the shadow or change the shape.   OR how do I use a function like import to sticky notes but into standard shapes instead of sticky notes?   -Anthony

Tools to make stunning look and fool for drawings

I've been using Lucid Charts for years and I like the power it has for drawing and maintaining drawings as a team. In technical drawing mind mapping and business modeling it has been a great partner. The only thing that comes to mind from time to time is that if you want to make some diagrams or presentation that has cool graphics this is not the tool for that currently. But could it be?If LucidChart would have tools the set gradients shadows and other basic effects for the elements the tool would be close to perfect. For example similar tools like Apple's KeyNote has would make this tool a real killer.

Can't find trash to restore Lucidchart document

I upgraded today as when I clicked on 'saved' (the clock) received a message I needed to upgrade to see those changes.  I deleted some documents this morning and accidentally deleted a file I need.  1) I don't see the trash icon mentioned in the other posts and 2) I see changes to other documents when I click on the clock but the deleted docs don't appear to be there.  I will revert to the individual version if upgrading doesn't allow me to see the deleted docs.  Thanks.  By the way LOVE LucidChart :-).

Copy paste Lucidspark

I'm trying to copy and paste in Lucid Spark. No matter what I try (CTRL C + CTRL V or right-click copy right-click paste) this has no affect. Same goes for where I'm copying from (screenshot tool SangIt within Lucid Spark etc.)When I do this it shows a popover instructing me to use the keyboard short cuts which don't work. The only way to what works is to upload saved images (quite a few clicks more) or "duplicate" content.

Apply multiple conditional formatting rules to all shapes in one click

I have an org chart split across about a dozen pages. Within the first page I've created several dozen conditional formatting rules. The first page is fine.   For the subsequent pages I understand what I need to do: Go to conditional formatting and for each rule click "apply to all shapes" for each tab. However given the sheer number of rules and pages that's a lot of clicking. For a single page is there no way to have "apply all conditional formatting rules to all shapes" with a button?

Ungrouping

In an attempt to unclutter my chart I wanted to be able to Click on a Button and have only those particular items which were of the same color as the button appear. In the end not only did that not work but now I cannot move anything without moving unwanted items because they appear to be acting as a group.

Where is the option to change the dpi of an export?

I'm trying to export some diagrams that will be included in a book I'm writing. The publisher requires them to be downloaded at 300dpi. I saw an online video about how to do this but the export box had options that I am not seeing. I have PDF/SVG etc but when I click on SVG there is no subsequent option to set the dpi to 300.

No Embed Option in Sharing Settings

This video says I can embed my document into a webpage. This embed tab does not exist for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzQfu_kveYE&feature=emb_title   Is this an account setting that an admin needs to turn on for me?

Quick Annotations/Free-hand mark-up

Its been 2 years since the request for the freehand tool and your acknowledgement of its popularity request - can you define a date when this will be available as the lack of said tool provides a significant limitation to the work I have started to do with the software

Selecting Google SSO account at login

I've recently switched which google account chrome is logged into and it no longer matches the account that is registered with LucidChart. Ideally I would switch the LucidChart account but that doesn't appear to be possible. Instead I'm trying to log in to LucidChart using the account it knows from the chrome browser that is itself logged into via a different account. When I click to login via Google SSO it doesn't let me choose which account to log in with. I'm really not sure if this is a Google issue or a LucidChart issue but I've been working the Google angle for days with zero success. This included disabling auto sign-in and save passwords clearing browsing cookies and caches etc. I'm hoping you might have a solution for this.

I can't edit shared documents by my team but only view

Hi  I seem to have a problem with the editing of shared documents by my team. We could as a team edit and make changes to each others documents but can't do this anymore. We can still go back to our own documents and edit them make changes etc.  How can we fix this as it is very important to us as a team to improve update and make changes to each others work.   Thanks
