The item aligns to the chosen nearby edge or center.

Before you start

Open the intended collection/layout and prepare a safe rehearsal. Have the device, media or receiving service required by the task available.

Where to find it

See Canvas and Preview preferences for the exact controls and navigation.

Steps

  1. Open File > Settings > Workspace > Canvas & Preview.
  2. Set Snap Sensitivity and the edge, source or center snapping choices.
  3. Save, then move an unlocked item close to the selected boundary.

Check the result

The item aligns to the chosen nearby edge or center.

Helpful information

Snapping affects placement; it does not change the output dimensions.

If something is wrong

Check lock state and sensitivity if the source does not move or snap.
