Working with Lists

Gravit Designer supports two types of lists:
- Bulleted(1) with all kinds of geometrical shapes to mark down the start of the paragraph
- Numbered(2) with arabic numerals
To apply one of them to the selected text, head over to List Type dropdown to bring up a panel with three options in each category.
Once applied Gravit would display the type of list in the dropdown field.
