# Use the grid guidelines

The grid is an underlying, configurable tool used to help align objects on your canvas.

#### Configuring and Using the Grid

1. To enable the configuration options, make sure the 'Display grid' setting is enabled (checked).
2. To use the primary alignment feature, enable the 'Snap to grid' setting.
   * When this is enabled, any object you move will automatically stick to the nearest grid line, making alignment easier.
3. Customize the appearance and scale of the grid:
   * Grid Size: Change the size (in pixels) of each square cell of the grid.
   * Grid Color: Select a color for the grid lines.
   * Opacity: Adjust the visibility of the grid lines.

Note: The grid is a reference tool only and will never be visible in the final exported image.
