• The Layout feature gets its own menu item, just below Calendar
• Layout approach selection (only “Custom” available currently)
• Setting the size of your layout (when starting to plan, but also anytime later)
• Panning and zooming in the layout
• Grid and scale indicator that adjust automatically for the zoom level
• Adding landmarks like trees, houses, or whatever you might like
• Adding planting locations like beds (crops go in these); some default shapes available, with more to come
• Customize landmarks and planting locations by changing names and colors
• Resize, rotate and even re-shape landmarks and planting locations (re-shaping not available for round objects), with or without snapping to the grid
• View your crops timeline and assign plantings to planting locations (by dragging)
• View individual plants represented with proportional spacing
• Use default spacing for a crop or set custom spacing (including both plant and row spacing)
• Set the spacing pattern to be either square or offset
• Time-travel to see what your garden would look like on a specific date
• See which crops are active for the selected date, and which are not
• Set which months to view in the timeline

Known issues

• Some disabled buttons in the toolbar
  • We plan to implement additional features in the future
• Some labels, titles and messages need different wording
• Some styling (spacing, fonts, icons) is not final
• Hitting delete or Backspace on the keyboard will not do anything yet
• Hitting Esc on the keyboard will not deselect an object (de-selection in general still needs to be added)
• Hit targets on touch devices might be too small to operate comfortably
• The Layouts feature is not yet optimized for mobile devices or devices with smaller screens. We do our best to support all devices, but our focus for this early release has been on the desktop experience
• Some performance issues may appear. Also, as with any early access software, some edge cases or unexpected behavior may appear
