Whiteboards | Items alignment features

Hi,
It is extremely difficult to use Mindmap feature in Whiteboards. When testing, it seems much easier to work with shapes than a mindmap feature. In mindmap feature, the elements cannot be aligned). horizontally (it might be a bug though).
It's quite a mess when creating new elements. It would be good if it was possible to set an alignment in different ways:
1.) In parent element features, ability to align items horizontally or vertically, as well as in relation to parent element (left, center, right or bottom, center top)
2.) ability to set space alignment between elements. So for example to set a fixed space between element in line
So far, you have to do things manually and it's time consuming. For example, I have Parent Item 1, then I set alignment for child elements to be horizontal, central to parent and equal space between them. Then when I add new elements, they would automatically be created inline, and as I add new child elements, they would automatically be moved to center.

Agree. Mindmaps sound great, but they are unusable unless you have the most basic of flows.

I agree. Right now creating and organizing mind maps is a difficult process.

It would be super helpful to have an alignment option where we can highlight desired objects and align to left, center, right, and equally space horizontal/vertical. Right now our maps are a mess because the alignment takes forever

It would be great to have automated features for alignment of elements and automatic layouts. Please check out https://app.diagrams.net/ for some inspiration.
- Alignment feature
-Select elements
-Feature to align those elements on left, center, right, top, middle, bottom.
- Distribute feature
-Select elements
-Distribute those elements horizontally or vertically
- Automatic layout
-Select elements
-Arrange those elements automatically: Horizontal tree, vertical tree, radial tree, ...

Really GREAT idea, I was just looking for such a feature, that would also remove the need for mindmaps, which is a bit strange element from a different time in the past currently :D
As addition to (1): Circular could also be a further option for outgoing connections, if there are many.
