You can enable the Container feature for the Rectangle and Tooltip shapes:

By clicking on the square icon located on the upper border of your selected block, you can make your Rectangle or Tooltip shape a container. That is to say that when you move it, you move all the elements that it contains at the same time.

You can enable the Full width option for the Rectangle shape:

In this case, we advise you to activate the Lock feature (padlock icon located on the upper border of your selected block) once it is configured in order to avoid accidental modifications.
