Add Grid Option to Experience Builder

When building applications in any version of Experience Builder (AGOL, Enterprise, DE), add a grid overlay option to the developer window. This would help in lining up elements within the builder. In the image shown, the example would be lining up the top of the search widget, top of the select map to view, and the top of the zoom in button all with each other.

Hi Brian_McLeer,

In Experience Builder, advanced snap lines appear when dragging widgets. These lines help align widgets more precisely for better layout positioning, as shown in the image below.

Hope this helps!

Thank you @ZhenZhang22, that is a very useful feature. I think where adding a grid element would stand out vs this function is that someone creating an application would be able to snap elements/widgets to a set line vs a temporary line for the tool above.

ArcGIS Pro has the concept of adding Guidelines to a layout, i wonder if something similar could also be valuable in EXB?
