Sometimes you need more space within an artboard, but you have elements above/under/to the sides and you want to create more space by enlarging the canvas while pushing the rest of the elements to one side.
Normally you would have to enlarge the artboard, select everything, move it and then continue editing, but that is a hassle.

Hey @Carlos_Henestrosa - I think I understand what you’re asking for: basically being able to, say, draw out a square in between elements and have them push outwards based on how big/small you adjust it in order to make room on the canvas. Does that sound about right?

If so, there isn’t really a great way to accomplish that at the moment (as you’ve noted). One suggestion that may help could to surround elements in a section, so that you can easily move all of those elements at one time, and you can make sure the spacing is even. I do acknowledge that probably isn’t helpful in your instance, since the elements would be ‘trapped’ in a section (so then you might as well just select each element with control + click.
