5. To rotate the element, hover your cursor outside one of the corner handles. When you see a curved arrow appear, click and drag to rotate the element.
6. You can also change the color of your reshaped element by opening the Color Picker menu and selecting one from the options
7. Once you’re happy with how your element looks, you can then select the “Share” button at the upper-right corner and download your design.
