Drag someone onto a seat, or onto someone else to swap. On a touchscreen, tap a person, then a seat.

Your seating plan stays in your browser. It's kept in this tab until you close it.

Worth knowing

A few things that make it quicker.

Describing the room

A number is a row of that many seats, set out as desks of two. Spell desks out with a plus, as in 2+2+2, and use | for a gap such as an aisle. Edit desks lets you change any desk to 1, 2 or 3 seats, or add and remove rows.

Locks and shuffling

Lock anyone who has to sit in a particular place. Shuffle then mixes up everyone else and leaves the locked seats alone. Fill and Random start the arrangement again from scratch.

What happens to the names?

They stay in your browser. The plan is kept in this tab so a reload doesn't lose it, and it goes when you close the tab. To keep it for another day, use Export project, and Import project to pick up where you left off.

Your privacy

Your seating plan stays in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to MBSD or anyone else, and closing the tab clears it.
