With BookBildr, you can create and design book pages using as many elements as you’d like, be they text boxes, illustrations, doodles, or photos. In this article, we’ll show you how to work with elements on a page quickly and efficiently.

Grouping Elements

When you have several elements on a page, changing their position one by one may be tiresome, especially if you decide to resize your whole book project. In that case, grouping elements will help.

Page with elements — *A page with ungrouped elements.*

You can group elements by Shift-selecting them or by selecting them with your mouse.

Grouped elements — *The images on this page are grouped together*.

Adjust group size and position on the page like you would do for any other element.

Group elements size and position — *The size and position of the group has been adjusted.*

Ungroup elements by clicking outside the selection.
