Ampler Charts lets you align and adjust several charts to match the one selected last, so charts sharing a slide line up precisely.
Quick answer: Hold Shift and left-click to select the charts, then click the alignment or adjust function to match them to the Last Selection.
How to use it
Select the charts, then match them to the last selection.
- Hold Shift and left-click to select multiple charts.
- Click the desired alignment or adjust function to match the Last Selection.
The selected charts align (or size) to the last-selected chart, so they sit precisely together.
When to use it
Use Last Selection to align a set of charts to one reference chart’s edge or size — the common need when several charts share a slide and must line up.
How consultants use it
Precise alignment of multiple charts is part of a clean multi-chart slide. Three habits apply:
- Align to a reference: the charts match the last-selected chart deliberately
- Line up on a slide: several charts sit on a shared grid
- Consistent sizing: charts can be matched in size as well as position
Aligning to the Last Selection lines up a set of charts precisely.
Tips & best practices
- Select the reference chart last — the others match it.
- Use it on slides where several charts must align.
- Combine with Pick up and apply size and position for exact matching.
