How to use a gridline on the editor

The gridline originates from the left side and top of the screen and can be dragged anywhere across the screen and placed.

To drag a gridline, hover over the ruler on the top or the left side of the screen and click. You will get a red line, which can be placed as per the alignment you want.

Click on the red line to align the gridline and drag and drop.

The rulers will guide you on getting the equal and the right amount of spacing. The below image is an example.
