I just want to sanity check/confirm that it is not possible to rotate a component in a Flex container. I am building a view with tables that I want to display on a monitor in portrait view (monitor rotated 90 degrees). From the documentation it looks like I can only do this using coordinate containers. Just wanted to confirm this before I changed course. Thanks! ---

Rotation is indeed limited to Coordinate Containers. There is nothing stopping you from placing a Coordinate Container into a Flex Container at the location you want your component and then placing the component into the Coordinate Container. If you already have the component in place, you can right-click the component and select “Wrap in…” and select “Coordinate Container”. ---

you could edit the style and add transform: rotate(90deg)
