To add zones to a proposed store layout, click on the Side Panel icon on the navbar to view the Zones Menu.

Additional zones can be drawn, including multiple instances of the same zone. It is recommended not to overlap zones from the same Trait. Clicking Zone Overlaps from the Validation tab in the right side panel will highlight any overlapping zones in the same trait.

Using Ortho Mode when drawing zones can prevent overlapping. If a zone overlaps, it can be deleted and redrawn. To delete a zone, select it and click the Delete icon or click the Delete key on your keyboard.
To edit a zone once placed, select the zone and open the right side panel.

Ad Hoc Zones
You can also place zones that are not in the zone hierarchy. These ad hoc zones would be specific to a particular store and not be a part of the overall zone hierarchy. To do this, click on Create New.

The process for drawing the zone is the same as outlined above. Once drawn, you will be prompted to enter a name for the zone.
