When I try to move anything, files, canvas, etc. it’s moving super slowly. Sometimes when I try to move an image it will not move the image or it acts like the image is being moved but pops up where it was originally found. Anyone else having the same issue?

Unfortunately this is due to positioning asset guides. It identifies similarly sized spaces elsewhere in the workspace to help you space things consistently. It is showing you a suggested space, and where that space came from, resulting in a performance bottleneck.

**A recommended workaround** is for you to **change the Snap to** option under workspace settings **to None**.

## **How to Change Snap to Under Workspace Settings to None as a Workaround**

1. Navigate to the Workspace in question.
2. Click **Workspace Settings …**
3. Change **Snap to,** to **None**

## **Alternative Troubleshooting Steps if the Issue Persists After Setting Snap to = None**

- Verify “Use Hardware Acceleration when available” is enabled in the Web browser:

- Minimize the amount of open Web browser tabs and background applications.

- Attempt to reproduce the issue using an Incognito window:

- Perform a Speedtest on the affected user’s network:

- Confirm if multiple workspaces and users are affected.
