<li> '''Header Rows''' - number of header rows to discard.

<li> Clicking the preview button will open up the layout in the QGIS print layout. In this layout, the user can modify, move, resize, add, and remove items in the layout. The following items must retain their IDs:
* The dynamic label must have the ID 'title'.
* Dynamic plots will have an ID 'plot_<n>' where <n> is the plot index (starting at index 0) based on the order they were added in the '''Default Layout'''.
* The graphic objects have an ID corresponding to their ID in the '''Default Layout'''.
Some of the useful information and tools in the print layout are:
* All plot items are listed in the 'Items' box and their corresponding ID. Items can be selected in this box to show their properties and allow users to edit them (they can also be selected in the print layout).<br>
Line 94:
* Item properties can be edited using the '''Item Properties''' tab below the 'Items' box.<br>

* Use the tool '''
* When the map zoom and extents are adjusted the graphic objects will no longer be in the correct position, however that's ok because the next time either the preview is clicked or if the export maps tool is run, they will be placed in their correct posistion
* Use the tool '''Select / Move Item''' [[File: Animation_Move_Resize_Item_Icon.PNG | 25px]] to move and resize items in the print layout
