Before learning about more detailed org chart functionality, here are a few basic tips:

- Exit the org chart editor by clicking empty canvas space outside of the org chart or press “ESC” on your keyboard.
Add an org chart
Manually
Add the org chart shape library
- Open a Lucidchart Document.
- In the Shape menu, select More shapes.
- Type “org chart” in the search bar.
- Check the box next to the org chart library.
- Click Use selected shapes.
After adding the org chart shape library, you can find it listed in the Shape menu to the left of the workspace. To start building your org chart, click and drag the org chart shape onto the canvas.
Note: You can build an org chart with any shapes in a hierarchical pattern. If your chart includes five or more shapes that include an employee name and title, Lucid will prompt you to convert to official org chart shapes.
