# Move, resize, and rotate

> Transform a selected canvas element.

Select an element on the slide to reveal its canvas handles and editing controls. Before moving it, note its alignment, spacing, size, and relationship with nearby text or visual elements so the revised layout remains balanced.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the element">
    Click the object that should change and confirm that only the intended element is selected. If several objects behave as one unit, check whether they are grouped before transforming them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Transform it">
    Drag the object to move it. Use the visible handles to resize or rotate it, making one controlled adjustment at a time. Resize images proportionally when their original aspect ratio should remain unchanged.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the slide">
    Check overlap, margins, alignment, spacing, text wrapping, slide boundaries, and the relationship with nearby content. Preview the complete slide rather than judging the changed element in isolation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Make one transform at a time and compare the result with the surrounding layout. Verify important changes in an exported PPTX or PDF when exact placement, cropping, or font rendering matters.
