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:
Click the Frame icon in the control bar to open the Frame Templates panel.
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.):
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:
Click on the frame label.
Drag the mouse from outside the frame to select it.
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:
Use the corner circles to adjust its size, or
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:
Select the frame or group of frames.
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.
