🖥️ Your Workspace

🖼️ Adjust Your Canvas Size

Your venue space may be large, small, or uniquely shaped - and your floorplan should match that.
In your settings, you can:

  • Expand or shrink the canvas

  • Adjust width and height

  • Create a layout that mirrors your real venue

A correctly sized canvas helps you build a realistic and accurate floorplan.

🎛️ Snap & Alignment Controls

To keep your layout clean and tidy, use snap and alignment settings.
These help you:

  • Keep tables evenly spaced

  • Align items perfectly

  • Make your layout symmetrical

It keeps everything visually organised without manual guessing.

🏷️ Show or Hide Labels

Choose whether to display:

  • Table names

  • Area labels

  • Guest names

  • Seat numbers

Turning labels on helps when seating guests.
Turning them off helps when focusing on layout design.

🔦 Highlight Important Information

Use highlighting options to make planning easier. You can highlight:

  • Guests with dietary needs

  • Guests with mobility requirements

  • Special groups (e.g., children, VIPs)

This helps you make thoughtful seating decisions.

🪑 Chair & Table Display Options

Choose how detailed you want your tables to appear:

  • Show individual seats

  • Hide seats (table-only view)

  • Switch between simple and detailed layouts

This makes it easier to switch between design mode and seating mode.

👥 Guest View Preferences

Fine-tune how your guest panel behaves:

  • Sort guests alphabetically

  • Group by household

  • Filter by RSVP status

  • Filter by tags (family, friends, kids, etc.)

Your guestlist becomes easier to navigate - especially with large weddings.

📐 Grid & Measurement Options

For extra precision, enable:

  • Grid lines

  • Measurement guides

  • Spacing indicators

These tools help you build a layout that’s clean, proportional, and venue-accurate.

💾 Auto-Save & Version Control

Your seating chart saves automatically as you make changes.
Settings allow you to:

  • Restore previous versions

  • Turn autosave on/off (depending on your plan)

  • Review recent edits

You never lose your work, and you can always roll back if needed.

🎉 Why Seating Chart Settings Matter

Your settings help you customise your planning experience so it feels:

  • Smoother

  • Faster

  • More organised

  • More accurate

  • Less stressful

The better your settings match your style, the easier your entire layout process becomes.
