First moves · Two kinds of drag

Move the table, not the map.

The first thing everyone asks after creating a table: how do I move it? Watch how it works below, then try it live in the designer.

How to use it

Hover a table (or tap it on touch) and its controls appear. The coral Move handle drags just that element — “Hold and drag to move table”, exactly as the tooltip says. Dragging any empty patch of canvas slides your whole layout around instead, so nothing gets accidentally rearranged.

“Drag the move handle on this item. Drag empty space to move around the canvas.”
  1. 1Hover the table to reveal its controls.
  2. 2Grab the coral Move handle to drag that table — and only that table.
  3. 3Drag empty space to pan your view across the whole layout.
One handle per element. The move handle drags the table; empty canvas drags your view. Animated demo with sample data.
