Advanced options for editing sheets

The advanced edit mode available through Advanced options has some different options than the standard sheet edit mode.

Unlike standard options, the advanced edit mode offers a grid on which you can drag and drop visualizations and extensions. You can then resize the visualizations to fit the preferred number of grid squares. The advanced edit mode also supports touch-only devices, unlike standard mode.

Visualizations and other assets are added to the sheet by dragging and dropping them from the assets panel. They can then be configured with options from the properties panel.

For more information on the advanced edit mode, see Working with advanced options.
