1. Explain when the option to add a shape to a SmartArt graphic may not be available, and give an example.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Some SmartArt layouts allow for a limited amount of shapes. For example, the Relationship Counterbalance Arrows layout is designed to show two opposing ideas and therefore can only have the two shapes. In this case, you cannot add more content and would need to choose a different layout.
