Batch Format: This specifies where a new batch will be output; applies to new layouts in new workspaces. A batch report can be exported to a new layout, or to several other export options.
Default Zoom: Choose the default zoom for newly opened layouts.
Iteration Type: Select Sample from this menu to prepare the Layout Editor for batching. More
batching options are described here. The Off setting prepares a static layout.
Destination Folder: Choose a destination folder for layout output files.
Plot Orientation Horizontal: If checked, a selection of multiple populations dragged to the layout will be oriented horizontally.
Use Placeholders: Select this box to use empty placeholder plots instead of visible plots in the layout. This speeds up work on large, complex analyses.

Double-Click opens Graph: This toggle governs whether double-clicking opens a graph window or chart properties.

Fill Histogram Overlays: Solid colored fields under the distribution.
Drag Mismatch Policy: If batching is set to a sample name, and a different sample is dragged in to the Layout Editor, this setting tells FlowJo to:
- Turn Iteration off
- Change the dragged sample to the one currently specified in the Layout.
- Change the Layout setting to match the new sample.
- Cancel the action.
- Ask the user to choose.
