The other Align objects feature (yes, confusing there are two of the same name) is visible on the context menu of two or more selected objects, e.g.:

Does this help or was there something else you were expected/looking for?

​@Robert Johnson - thanks so much for taking the time to answer Robert - it’s the ‘Align Context Menu Action’ that isn’t available when I select a number of objects. Cheers Moya

​@Moya A few questions:

• Which object types?
• How many?
• Are they on the canvas or inside/on top of another object? E.g., the Align and Group options will not be available when the objects are inside of a Grid (formerly called Tables).

For example:

​@Robert Johnson -  4 objects selected to horizontally align on the canvas and not grouped or in a grid (screenshot below)

​@Moya From a test on my end, the align action appears to disappear when there is a connection line in the mix (that is also connected on both ends).

I added two cards to a board and as soon as I connected the two cards with a line, the Align action disappeared from the context menu (if the line is disconnected from one of the cards , so it's floating in canvas space, the align action comes back).

​@Robert Johnson - oh my goodness Robert, that’s a trick for new players !!!!

Thank you so much for looking into this for me, you’ve saved my sanity and hours of pain trying to get these aligned freehand.

Greatly appreciate your help 😁

Cheers Moya
