Objects can be created by dragging and dropping from the object palette or by using copy & paste from other pages or projects.
Objects can be moved by modifying the X and Y position properties or by moving them with the mouse.
Object swim lanes help positioning objects at the correct distances:
Those can be turned off with the Snap to Object switch in the Page Editor toolbar.
Objects can be resized by modifying the Width and Height properties or by using the orange squares in the corners and edges of the object.
To resize an object and keep the aspect ratio (especially interesting for images), press the Shift key before clicking one of the corner squares or while resizing.
Objects can be locked in place to avoid accidental modifications with the mouse while editing other objects.
To lock an object, right-click on the object and select Lock Position and Size -> Lock Object.
If the object is already locked, the menu will show Unlock Object instead.
Objects can also be locked / unlocked in the project tree.
