Edit the layout of a Liveboard
Editing the layout of a Liveboard lets you snap visualizations into place, choose between set visualization sizes, and reset your layout.
Visualizations within a Liveboard are easy to move around and snap into place on a relative flow layout. Your Liveboard layout is also responsive to your browser resolution. This helps keep the layout of your Liveboard neat and organized.
| Starting in May 2022, ThoughtSpot rebranded pinboards as Liveboards. For backward compatibility, we currently support internal processes and external methods that use the older naming convention. |
