FAQ

What does upgrading or downgrading change?

  1. Upgrading moves an item to a higher level.
  2. Downgrading moves an item to a lower level.
  3. After the change, the hierarchy structure in the graphic is updated accordingly.

Can a top-level item be upgraded again?

  1. First, confirm whether the current item is already at the top level.
  2. If it is already at the top level, it cannot be upgraded further.
  3. You can adjust other items instead, or use Downgrade to reorganize the structure.

Why did the relationship change after I downgraded an item?

  1. Downgrading changes more than the current item level.
  2. In a hierarchy graphic, the downgraded item may become a child item of the previous peer item.
  3. If the result is not what you expected, upgrade the item again or adjust related items further.

When should I use the floating toolbar?

  1. If you want to adjust hierarchy quickly in the current editing area, use the floating toolbar first.
  2. If you want to combine the change with other design actions, you can use the top Design tab instead.
  3. Both entry points can complete the hierarchy adjustment, so you can choose the one that fits your editing habit.
