I have imported dataset and received the Smart Containers, however, I want to use each containers separately for a diagram on the other page. I want to still keep the connection between the single container with the dataset and other containers too. Right now, I cannot even seperate or use a single container individually. How to use each containers as a shape for my diagram without losing connection with each other? So when I update my dataset I can refresh them all.

Hi @cellinew 

Lucidchart currently lacks a native feature to effortlessly separate Smart Containers into separate shapes while preserving a live connection to the dataset and other containers.

Try other options, by manually managing individual shapes and their connections, which is a less streamlined approach.

If you require a more seamless experience with fully integrated two-way live sync and flexible container management, Lucidspark may offer more suitable functionality.

 

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
