How do I set up a landscape project?

Set up a landscape project

If you want your entire project to use a landscape layout, this is done in Project Setup.

To change your project to landscape:

  1. Click Setup in the top toolbar.

  2. Open the About tab.

  3. Under Orientation, select Landscape.

  4. Click Update.

Important: Changing the project orientation to Landscape updates the whole project. This means all screens in that project will use the landscape orientation.

What if I only want the device to be landscape?

If you want to keep the project in portrait, but change a device to landscape:

  1. Click on the Device element to open its edit panel.

  2. Under Device orientation, choose either:

    • Landscape Left

    • Landscape Right

Important: Changing the device orientation will also affect all other output sizes and devices in that project.

AppScreens uses one shared design across all output sizes, so changing the device orientation applies that change across the whole project.

Example

If you want:

  • iPhone in portrait

  • iPad in landscape

you cannot do this inside the same project.

Recommended workaround

Duplicate your project and create two separate versions:

  • one project for iPhone portrait

  • one project for iPad landscape

This allows each project to have its own layout and device orientation independently.
