Group editing: Keep your designs consistent with less effort

Group editing helps maintain consistency across your designs

Readymag blog. Group editing: Keep your designs consistent with less effort

Сhoose widgets of the same type and edit their parameters in one go: the latest Readymag update helps maintain consistency across your designs and will come in especially handy when you're making final tweaks or customizing existing projects.

How it works

Group editing works for pictures, shapes, texts and buttons. First, hold Shift and click on the desired widgets of the same type to unite them. Attributes will appear on the right side of the screen, giving you access to various settings. Changes apply to the whole group simultaneously. These are the parameters you can change in each widget group.

Pictures: tweak corner radiuses, borders and opacity.

Shapes: change color, radiuses, weight and stroke type.

Buttons: change background colors and radiuses.

Texts: change font, font size, style, color and text alignment.

Pro tip: Your grouped widgets may be scattered across the layout of the whole website. To see quickly how changes apply to them and affect the look and feel of the overall layout, use zoom in and zoom out hotkeys (⌘ +/- or Ctrl +/-)

One more small but mighty update for single and grouped widgets: now you can rotate them straight from the canvas—just hover over any corner and you’ll see the ‘Rotate’ cursor appearing.
