openElement

I can't seem to change the position type for any of the elements that I add to the page. I've only been using openElement for a couple of days, but it seems that every object is locked with absolute positioning. I'm trying to edit a template, but even when I make a new project I have the same problem.

I can edit other properties just fine, but in both the "Properties" panel, and in the "Code" viewer, I can't change the position type.

What am I doing wrong here?

	Hi, The position can't be controlled by an element, it is defined by its "parent" container. In the latest version, press "Esc" to select the parent, which is either a Group of Elements or the page itself. If it's Group of Elements, change Positioning type in its Properties. If it's a page, you can modify positioning in Page->Responsive->Page Sections (usually it should be done for the page's base layer). If you need a mix of absolute and relative positioning, add a Group of Elements and position certain elements inside it.
