Tile Arrangement Improvements

Quality-of-life enhancements for arranging tiles in complex Builder 2.0 layouts

1. Purpose & Scope

This article documents the Tile Arrangement improvements shipped in Tiled v59.0.0. These are quality-of-life enhancements focused on the experience of managing and repositioning tiles within complex multi-tile layouts in Builder 2.0.

Scope: All Tiled users with Builder 2.0 access (Editor role and above), particularly those working with high-tile-count microapps or intricate layered layouts.

2. Feature Description

The v59.0.0 tile arrangement improvements address friction points encountered when placing, reordering, and managing tiles in dense Builder 2.0 canvas environments. Improvements span tile positioning, layer order management, and selection behavior for overlapping or grouped tile structures.

Positioning Precision

Tile drag and placement behavior refined for more accurate positioning in constrained canvas areas.

Layer Order Management

Bring-to-front and send-to-back operations are more reliable when applied to tiles within nested scroll containers or sub-pages.

Selection in Dense Layouts

Improved click-to-select targeting when tiles overlap or are closely stacked, reducing accidental selection of adjacent tiles.

Context Menu Reliability

Context menu actions (paste, duplicate, arrange) operate consistently without dismissing unexpectedly — related to paste fix TD-6605.

3. Impacted Workflows

The following workflows benefit most from these improvements. No configuration changes are required — enhancements are applied automatically in Builder 2.0.

• Building microapps with many overlapping tiles (e.g., layered image + text + hotspot stacks).

• Reordering tiles within scroll containers where layer depth affects rendering order.

• Copy-pasting tile groups and verifying arrangement is preserved post-paste.

• Working in sub-pages with complex background and foreground tile stacks.
