An example Layout with all widgets.

Click and hold the Move button while dragging the widget to change its placement. If the widget is "dropped" outside of the page boundaries or covering the copyright information, the widget will automatically move within bounds, to the closest viable position.

The Options button gives options to edit the widget if it is editable, to delete the widget, or to move the widget forward, backward, to the front or to the back of the page.

Not all Widget Types can be edited; Plan Inventory, Auto-draft information and the Legend are not editable.

     Warning: When editing widgets the changes made still need to be saved with Save Layout. Returning to the PDF customisation page after editing a widget does not automatically save those changes.

The Resize button allows the widget to be resized by clicking and dragging with the mouse. As with moving the widget, the widget will resize automatically to a valid size if dragged out of bounds or over the copyright information.

This will also rescale features within a widget, including moving text around and adjusting the scale measurements on maps.
