Start over from a template or an empty layout
Replace your chart with a ready-made starter template or a blank room.
Every reception chart starts with example tables. If you’d rather begin differently, replace the whole chart with a starter template or an empty room.
Step by step
Step 1Open the new layout window
In the editor, click Start new layout at the top, or File → New → New Layout.
Step 2Pick a starting point
Under Start from scratch choose Empty layout, or pick one of the plans under Use a starter template.
Step 3Confirm
You are asked to confirm: every table and element on the chart is replaced. Then add and arrange tables as usual — see The seating chart editor.
Tips and important notes
- The free plan shows the templates that fit its limits (5 tables and 3 rows of chairs); Premium shows them all — see Free plan limits.
- Changed your mind? Undo with Ctrl+Z (⌘+Z on a Mac), or restore an earlier version — see History, snapshots and backups.
- To remove only the tables, use File → New → Clear all tables.
