You can resize a fence in two ways: drag one of its edges or corners on the grid, or type a new Width and Height in its side panel. Sizes are in grid squares, from 1 to 30 in each direction.
Drag to Resize
- Hover over an edge or a corner of the fence until the resize cursor appears.
- Drag to make the fence larger or smaller.
- Let go. The fence snaps to the grid.
You can drag the top, bottom, left, and right edges, and the top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners.
Type an Exact Size
- Click the fence’s tab to open its side panel.
- Change Width and Height. Each accepts a value from 1 to 30.
Resizing a Shared Fence
- Resizing a shared fence changes it for everyone it is shared with.
- A shared fence cannot be made smaller than what is in it.
- Moving or resizing a shared fence does not pull in items it then covers.
- People you share with can resize the fence only if they have both Edit and Resize. See Share Roles and Permissions Explained.
For Developers
A fence’s width and height are fields you can update through the Opal REST API. See Fences API: Add Items, Read Children, and Move a Fence.
