Where is layout style in Lucid Org Charts?

I cannot find Layout Style that includes Spacing in my toolbox.  Is that restricted to a larger subscription?  I only see Shape Style, Employee Fields and Reporting.

Hi ​@Jerilyn Gandara 

Do you want to explore a layout style like the one shown below?

 Make sure you're working with a diagram type that supports these features, like an organizational chart

Please post any specific questions you may have.

Thank you, and yes, that is it.  What is difficult now is allowing spacing for all those reporting to the manager - I can’t get that to work.

Hi ​@Jerilyn Gandara 

To adjust spacing for all employees reporting to a manager, use the "Layout" panel by clicking a blank space on the org chart canvas. There you can increase horizontal and vertical spacing sliders to spread out the boxes evenly without disrupting reporting lines.

Consider - individual manual dragging can affect hierarchy or box size, so spacing is best controlled through these layout settings. If more custom positioning is needed, breaking the auto-layout and repositioning manually might be necessary.
