Turn off assisted layout when arranging shapes

Question

I used to be able to arrange shapes on top of each other. Now when I go to do this these blue lines pop up around the shape I am trying to arrange over and the object I want on top of the shape is auto arranged to either the left, right, top or bottom of the shape I am trying to arrange over. How do I turn this off? It is helpful when adding boxes next to each other in a process flow but doesn’t allow me to annotate like I need to. I believe I am using the AI process flow template.

Hi ​@havrett, thank you for posting in the community! I had a look at the ‘AI process flow’ template on my end and I believe the issue you’re experiencing is related to Assisted Layout.This feature automatically aligns objects for a clean, structured workspace by snapping items into a grid pattern and adjusting container size as you add or remove content.If you prefer to move your objects around freely, you cantoggle Assisted layout on/off by selecting the frame of theFrame, Container, or swim lane on the canvas. In theContextual Panel to the right of the canvas. there should be the option toToggle“Assisted layout” on/off. Please seethis Help Center articlefor more details about this feature.Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions!
