# Frames

**Frames** in YouDesign Models help you logically group content for your target audience. They are essential for exporting content and using in Presentation Mode, allowing you to navigate from one frame to the next, much like in PowerPoint.

## Adding Frames

To add a Frame to your board:

1. Click the **Frame** icon in the control bar to open the **Frame Templates** panel.

1. Pick a template (see below). The frame is placed on the board next to your last frame, pre-sized for the template you picked.

## Frame Templates

Six pre-sized templates are available in the Frame Templates panel. Pick the one closest to where the frame's content will ultimately live (print page, slide, square card, etc.):

| Template         | Dimensions (pixels) | Use for                                      |
| ---------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Custom**       | 700 × 500           | A generic starting size you'll resize freely |
| **Paper A4**     | 2100 × 2970         | A4 portrait print output                     |
| **Paper Letter** | 2159 × 2794         | US Letter portrait print output              |
| **16:9**         | 2320 × 1305         | Slide decks, widescreen displays             |
| **4:3**          | 1740 × 1305         | Classic slide decks, older projectors        |
| **1:1**          | 1450 × 1450         | Square social or dashboard tiles             |

Template dimensions are **fixed**, but the frame is fully resizable after creation — the template just gives you a sensible starting size. You can also add more frames of the same template; they're placed alongside the last one.

## Selecting Frames

To select a frame for renaming, resizing, or other actions:

1. Click on the frame label.
2. Drag the mouse from outside the frame to select it.
3. Click on its content area

## Renaming Frames

Click on the frame's label to rename it.

## Changing Frame Color

Once a frame is selected, use the toolbar to change its color by clicking the color icon.

## Positioning & Resizing Frames

To resize a frame:

1. Use the corner circles to adjust its size, or
2. Drag from the edges when the cursor changes to an arrow.

> **Note:** Frame sizes do not automatically adjust to content, ensuring consistency for presentations and exports.

## Deleting Frames

To delete a Frame:

* Select the Frame and press **Backspace** or **Delete**, or
* Use the **Delete** option in the toolbar under "... more".

> **Warning:** Deleting a Frame will also remove all its content.

## Locking Frames

Lock a frame to prevent accidental changes:

1. Select the frame or group of frames.
2. Use the **Lock/Unlock** option in the toolbar.

## Duplicating Frames

Duplicate a frame by:

* Selecting it and clicking **Duplicate** in the context menu, or
* Using the shortcut **Ctrl/Cmd + D**.

## Right-Click Menu

Right-click a selected frame for quick access to:

* **Settings** — frame properties
* **Rename**
* **Duplicate**
* **Delete**
* **Move To** — move the frame (and its content) into a different location or container
* **Move To Layer** — reassign the frame to a different layer (see [Layers](/models/work-in-the-app/editor/layers.md))
* **Bring to Front** / **Send to Back**
