# Snap Grid

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use the Snap Grid?**

Use Snap Grid to arrange multiple monitors without overlap. **Adjust hinge and distance** easily for a clean, organized setup that moves as one unit.
{% endhint %}

## Snap Grid mode

* Clicking the Snap Grid button in the tab area of the Monitor panel will activate the mode.

## Connect

* When hovering over the monitors, a translucent **snap bar** will appear, allowing you to connect them.
* When you attach a monitor to the snap bar, it will be connected.

{% hint style="warning" %}
In Snap Grid, **the first connected monitor is set as the main monitor**. You can easily identify the main monitor by checking if there is a rotate icon inside it, while the sub monitors will not display the rotate icon.
{% endhint %}

## Disconnect

* When you pinch the connected monitor away from the snap, it will be detached.

## Snap Grid Control

### Move & Rotate

* Only available on the **Main Monitor**. Moving it shifts all connected monitors together, and using the rotation icon rotates the entire group.

### Scale

* Each monitor can be resized **individually**.

## Main monitor

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Snap Menu of the **main monitor** appears at the bottom and **controls all connected monitors**, while **sub monitor** Snap Menus control only their **directly connected monitor**.
