How to enable the grid view for precise template design in Pitchly’s Elements App
Overview
The Show Grid setting in Pitchly’s Elements App allows Users to display a visual-only grid while editing a template. This tool helps with consistent alignment and spacing of content fields, ensuring clean and brand-compliant designs. The grid will not appear in any exports—it’s only visible during the design process.
This feature is available to Users with Admin or Manage Template permissions.

Open the Elements App from the side panel or Apps home screen.

Locate the Show Grid option under the Design Settings section
Click the toggle to turn it on. A grid will appear over the canvas to help guide your layout.
The grid will not appear in exported documents. It is strictly a design-time visual aid.
