Questions this guide answers
How do I show a client two different layout options?
Open Versions in the editor and press Duplicate to create Version 2, a full copy of the current layout. Change Version 2, for example from round tables to long banquet tables, then open Versions again to switch between the options. Both options stay saved inside the same event.
How do I switch a layout from round tables to long banquet tables?
Select all the tables with Cmd+A or Ctrl+A and press Adjust layout. Choose Custom, then Rectangle, and press Update Layout. Smart Layout replaces the rounds with long banquet tables that fill the room. Do this on a duplicated version if you want to keep the original round-table layout.
What is a version in Floors.live?
A version is a separate floor plan layout inside the same event. Each version has its own name, thumbnail and object layout, and can be duplicated or deleted. Versions keep Option A and Option B side by side, and comments stay visible across versions to everyone collaborating on the event.
Should I create a new event for each layout option?
No. For different layouts of the same room, use versions inside one event: duplicate the layout and change the copy. A new event is for a different venue or space. Keeping options as versions means one event to unlock, one place for comments, and a quick switch between options in a client meeting.
