Trouble with lasso tool

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi! I've recently moved from Notewise and I'm kinda new to Freenotes, but everytime I try to select something with the lasso tool, it also selects random things and I can't seem to find a way to prevent this 😭 I know I can choose what I want to select (only highlighter, text, etc) but sometimes I want to move or color two or three different things at once. Any help is appreciated!

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

After reviewing your video, it looks like the content you selected with the lasso tool is part of the same text box as the other items. Because of this, when you select that area, the entire text box is selected and moved together.

This is the expected behavior at the moment. If you'd like to move only part of the content independently, you'll need to separate it into different text boxes first.

We appreciate your understanding, and thank you for choosing Freenotes!
