Why use a layout grid?
When designing, if elements aren't neatly arranged, the screen can appear cluttered. In such cases, consider using a 'grid'.
Grids are auxiliary tools that help align and organize elements within the canvas, so activating the grid before placing elements can give your design a much more balanced and orderly look. It greatly aids in providing an overall consistent impression.
