Moving an element – image, text, or some other type
No matter how much time you spend planning your design before you begin working on the Prezi canvas, you will find that you will often need to move texts, images, and other elements to different positions on the canvas.
Sometimes the moves will be big; at other times, you will just want to fine-tune an element's position.
Fortunately, Prezi makes it easy. For any kind of element, there are two ways to do the big moves, and one for the incremental adjustments.
Let's begin with the big moves.
How to do it…
- Using your mouse, click on an element to select it.
- Hold your left mouse button down.
- Now move the element by dragging the mouse.
