How to Arrange and Resize Blocks in an Internal App

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

Enter build mode in Jestor with B or Ctrl+B.
Press F to open the block picker and add a new block.
Resize any block by dragging from whichever edge is convenient.
Position blocks so the most-used elements sit where people look first.
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.
