What are the main features of Layout Grids?

When you click the Layout Grid button, you can access three main features:

• Snap Move – Automatically aligns layers with the grid or with other elements.
• Positioning Grid (Layout Grid) – Displays a customizable grid for precise object placement.
• Rulers – Adds horizontal and vertical guides for optimal alignment.

How can I customize the positioning grid (Layout Grid)?
