Add the ability to control the size of the grid in Power BI.

It's great to have snap-to-grid functionality and gridlines in Power BI Desktop. However, I haven't used this feature much because the standard grid size is not useful for my particular reports. I need the ability to change the size of the grid to make it more/less dense depending on my scenario.

RE: Adjust grid size

Additionally, if you expand side bars (Filters, Visualizations, Fields) you may change the snap to grid. The grid should "stick" with the page or report so that edits use the same grid as the original design. And we need to be able to pick a finer grid. Thank you.

RE: Adjust grid size

Please +1.

Also, why is the default grid shifted to the rights?
Left of the canvas it's nearly a full box and the canvas on the rights ends with a quarter of a box.

RE: Adjust grid size

Please add this, it would help with aligning rows and columns on tables as well.

RE: Adjust grid size

This is the one thing that has kept us from really pushing our dashboards to our C-level members. They all use their mobiles and the grid currently doesn’t let us make anything visually pleasing because the space is ridiculously limited. Allow significantly smaller grids and overlays, game changer. Please don’t neglect the power of mobile-first dashboards.

RE: Adjust grid size

Any update on this idea yet? This will be a real time save. The current grid size is virtually unuseable.

Need to reduce space of grid, which allows visualizations use spacing in a better way..
