Features

Workspaces now use a dot grid

The workspace background has been updated to a dot grid instead of a line grid, significantly improving the user experience when placing and aligning content in a workspace. Regardless of content type, the element’s top left corner will snap to the dot grid for easy organization. If you’d like to position content freely, hold down CTRL/CMD while moving content. Users can still toggle the workspace background on and off.
