hi all,
When I launch a local file to my workspace it seems like some visuals are resizing automatically. For example some matrix visuals will show a horizontal scroll in the workspace while the local file doesnt show the scroll. I also notice instances when the allignment of a visual will be off in the workspace but the local file looks fine. Is there a setting that can turn off this resize / what is going on here?
Thank you!

Hi, @Anonymous
We understand it's critical to keep your report layout pixel perfect. Sometimes, it can be challenging, because you and your colleagues may view those reports on screens with different aspect ratios and sizes.
The default display view is Fit to page and the default display size is 16:9. If you want to lock in a different aspect ratio, or want to fit your report in a different way, there are two tools to help you: Page view settings and Page size settings.
Here is the related document, hope it can help you.

@Anonymous I find that visuals jump to pixels that are more computer friendly, so if you can use binary friendly numbers they are less likely to move on you. Try setting the x and y coordinates under 'General' formatting for your visuals to be a binary number that is the same for each visual. Do the same for the width and height settings too.
