Canvas card documentation lacks mobile gestures #767

jwhitley commented 3 months ago

The help around Canvas card manipulation (arranging, connecting, etc.) makes no reference about how to perform the mobile-specific gestures required for these actions. For example consider the Arrange cards help.

This is an area where the user is left completely in the dark re: an otherwise undiscoverable process. On iPad in particular, even using an external pointing device (mouse, trackpad) doesn’t permit the usual context-menu interactions. The mobile gestures are always required.

Expected solution All Canvas operations with mobile-specific gestures have those interactions clearly described in the help. This includes fully spelling out all required sequences of touch such as:

and so forth. I have no idea whether I know all of the relevant gestures, so I’m leaving this part deliberately open-ended, noting that the docs should have complete coverage.
