Lucidchart Recorder Icon Missing in New UI

I'm using the Individual Suite and taking the Lucidchart Fundamentals training. The training shows the Recorder icon in the upper-right corner, but I don't see it in my current Lucidchart interface. I'm also using the newer interface, where some of the formatting controls differ from those shown in the training.

Has the Recorder been moved or removed in the newer editor? If it's still available, where can I find it?

Hi ​@Barbara H 

Look in the upper-right of the canvas/header, around the collaboration, comment, or presentation controls. Look for the video-camera / Record video icon. Click it, choose Loom, configure the recording, and start recording

Hope this helps

Hi ​@Barbara H, thank you for posting in the Lucid Community! Sorry for the trouble here, but I’m happy to help.

It looks like you've come across the new way to edit shapes in Lucidchart. We reorganized editing controls so that your most common controls now live in a mini bar right above your selected shape, instead of a fixed toolbar at the top of the screen.

Here are a couple quick tips:

  • The mini bar also only shows controls relevant to what you've selected, so you're not scanning past options that don't apply.
  • You can drag that bar anywhere on your canvas.
  • The right panel to the right of your canvas (under the Share button) has those same controls, plus more advanced options, if you need them.

Would you mind providing me with a screenshot of the training you’re taking, showing the feature you’re hoping to access? That’ll help me take a closer look!
