How to change the text position relative to the marker symbol

There are three ways to change where the marker text sits relative to the marker symbol. The easiest one is to change the alignment. To do so, click on the little paragraph icons around the circle in the "Alignment" option. The circle represents your marker symbol. Clicking on the different paragraph symbols sets the alignment of the text relative to the marker symbol:

You can also change the distance between text and marker. To do so, change the values on the right of the Alignment panel.

👉 You can change the distance between text and symbol directly in the map. Simply drag the marker text to your desired position:

To add an arrow or line between your marker symbol and marker text, select the option "Draw line between marker and marker text," like so:

Dragging the marker text around directly in the map is helpful for adding enough space between marker and marker text, as you can see in the GIF.

To make sure that the marker text doesn't get cut off from the map in the mobile version, keep the marker text further away from the border of the map than the marker.
