Is there a way to adjust the hierarchy in an org chart?
I used the feature where I am importing all of my information. I want my org chart to be built not only to visually see who supervises who but also at which level they are in. For instance, my organization has 5 levels for the sake of argument. A supervisor is on Level 2. She directly supervises people on Level 3 and 5. Visually the chart automatically puts the person on Level 5 directly under the supervisor on Level 2 thus creating the allusion that this person is on the same level as the Level 3 people that she supervises. Is there a way (outside of doing it all from scratch) that I can move this person down the chart but still have them connected to the Level 2 supervisor?

Hi
Lucidchart's org chart import native capability is not offering a way to directly specify hierarchy levels during import
Would you prefer other possibilities like -Making it at with manual repositioning?
- Select the Level 5 person's shape in the org chart.
- Drag and drop the shape down below the Level 3 shapes.
- Hold down the "Shift" key while dragging to maintain a connection line to the Level 2 supervisor. This ensures the supervisory relationship remains together regardless of the visual shift
- By this method the position of the Level 5 person in the chart is adjusted per your expectations
Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
So unfortunately when I hold the shift key, nothing changes from when I am not holding it down.
