I'm making a 7x2 tiled layout figure, but I only have 13 subplots, which means I have an empty tile, I wonder if there's a way that I can place my global legend into the empty tile, to save some space and make the figure neater. I'm using the latest version of Matlab (2023b), any thoughts or suggestions are highly appreciated!

Yes, you can place the legend in the empty tile by specifying the tile number.
Here's a demo -
%Plotting random data in the first 13 tiles
tiledlayout(7,2);
for k=1:13
nexttile
plot(sort(rand(10,1)), rand(10, 2))
end
%Define Legend
l = legend({'First line', 'Second line'});
%Changed the tile of the legend to the empty one which is 14 here
l.Layout.Tile = 14;
