How to Use Tile Grouping and Multi-Tile Editing in Builder

This guide covers two features that help you organize and edit your microapp canvas more efficiently: Tile Grouping lets you combine tiles into a single unit that moves and behaves together, and Multi-Tile Editing lets you update shared properties across multiple selected tiles at once.

Tile Grouping

What Is Tile Grouping?

Tile Grouping allows you to combine multiple tiles into a named group. Groups move together, can be hidden or locked as a unit, and are preserved when you export and re-import a microapp.

How to Create a Group

1. Select two or more tiles on the canvas using Shift+click or by dragging a selection box around them.

2. Right-click the selection and choose Group from the context menu, or use the Layers panel to group the selection.

3. The group appears as a single entry in the Layers panel.

Working Inside a Group

To edit an individual tile within a group, select the group, then click the specific tile you want to edit — either directly on the canvas or from its entry in the Layers panel. This selects that tile on its own, so you can modify it without ungrouping.

Managing Groups in the Layers Panel

Action

How to do it

Rename a group

Double-click the group name in the Layers panel

Reorder tiles within a group

Drag tiles up or down within the group in the Layers panel

Hide or show a group

Click the visibility toggle next to the group

Lock a group

Click the lock icon to prevent all tiles in the group from being selected, moved, or edited

Resize a group

Drag the group's resize handles — all tiles inside scale proportionally

Multi-select resize within a group

Select multiple tiles inside the group and resize them together while preserving relative proportions

 

Tip: Locking a group is useful for protecting finalized brand elements or background structures from accidental edits.

Export & Import

Group structure is fully preserved when you export and re-import a microapp.

Multi-Tile EditingWhat Is Multi-Tile Editing?

The Properties panel supports bulk property updates when you have multiple tiles selected. Instead of updating each tile individually, you can change fill color, border, opacity, text formatting, and other shared properties across your entire selection in one step.

How to Use Multi-Tile Editing

1. Select two or more tiles on the canvas using Shift+click or by dragging a selection box.

2. The Properties panel updates to show the properties available for your selection.

3. Edit any property — the change applies to all selected tiles simultaneously.

4. If selected tiles have different values for a property (for example, different fill colors), the field displays Mixed. Entering a new value will override all existing values for that property across your selection.

5. To undo a multi-tile edit, press Cmd+Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Z (Windows) — the entire bulk edit is reversed in a single undo step.

Same vs. Mixed Tile Types

Same tile type selected (e.g., multiple image tiles): all shared properties for that tile type are editable.

Different tile types selected: only the properties common to all selected tile types appear in the Properties panel.

Common Questions

Can I group tiles of different types?

Yes — Tile Grouping works with any combination of tile types.

Will my groups be lost if I export my microapp?

No — group structure is preserved through export and import.

What does “Mixed” mean in the Properties panel?

It means the selected tiles currently have different values for that property. Editing the field will set a single value across all selected tiles.
