Page Margins

Adding page margins in a diagram ensures that your content is neatly framed and doesn’t get cut off when printed or viewed on different devices. It prevents the elements from getting too close to the edges, making your diagram easier to read and more visually appealing.

Show or Hide Page Margins

There are two ways to show page margins on the diagram:

Option ❶

Click the Menu icon on the upper-left side navigation pane, then choose View > Margins, and select the Show Margins checkbox.

To hide page margins, clear the Show Margins checkbox.

Note:
Adding a background to a diagram page hides the page margins, even if you select the Show Margins checkbox. So, if you want to see the page margin, you’ll have to remove the background first.
