## Change design layout

The layout control sits in the toolbar at the bottom of the canvas, beside the zoom controls, showing the icon of the layout currently in use.

The indicator beside the design name reports the state of the design against your account.

| Indicator | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Cloud with a tick, plus a brief "Saved" | Every change is persisted. Hovering shows how long ago the last save completed. |
| Cloud with an arrow, plus "Saving..." | A change is in flight. |
| Circling arrows, plus "Saving..." | A change is in flight. |
| Struck-through cloud, plus "Unable to save. Retrying..." | A save failed. Kanvas retries on its own; the message clears once one succeeds. |

If the indicator sits on "Unable to save" for more than a moment, stop making changes until it clears - your recent edits exist only in the browser until a save succeeds. The usual causes are a lost connection to Layer5 Cloud or an expired session.
