Finishing touch · Alignment

Snap. Everything lines up.

Magnetic snap is on by default — drag one table near another and it pulls into exact alignment. Watch it work below, then try it live in the designer.

The orange line is the magnet. Snap pulls edges and centers into alignment while you drag. Animated demo with sample data.

How to use it

Orange guide lines appear live during the drag, showing which element is doing the pulling, center to center. Open the zoom percentage menu in the corner and toggle Snap to alignment. On desktop, hold Alt while dragging to reverse the setting for one move.

“Elements align as you drag. Change Snap to alignment in View options, or hold Alt while dragging to reverse the setting.”
  1. 1Drag a table near another.
