To **resize blocks in an app**, you drag from any edge rather than a single corner. Combined with a keyboard shortcut for adding blocks, laying out an internal app becomes a matter of minutes.

## Why layout matters more than it seems

An internal app is used dozens of times a day. Small layout friction multiplies across every use.

- Indicators too small to read at a glance
- Boards squeezed beside panels nobody looks at
- Important actions positioned below the fold
- Layout work abandoned because adjusting it was awkward

## What makes layout fast

- **Resize from any edge**, not only one corner
- **Keyboard shortcut** to open the block picker quickly
- **Build mode** for editing any element inline
- **Versioning**, so layout experiments do not disturb users
- **Navigation blocks**, to guide people to the right part of the app

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Enter build mode in **Jestor** with B or Ctrl+B.
2. Press F to open the block picker and add a new block.
3. Resize any block by dragging from whichever edge is convenient.
4. Position blocks so the most-used elements sit where people look first.
5. Use versioning if the app is live and you want to test the layout first.

## Why choose Jestor for app layout?

**Jestor** keeps layout editing inline, so you see the result as you build rather than switching between an editor and a preview.

Because the same build mode edits fields, colours, and phase conditionals, layout and logic are adjusted in the same pass instead of in separate tools.

## Frequently Asked Questions
