Is it possible to snap objects to the grid that’s shown when you toggle on “Show Grid”?

I can’t find any info about this feature (all of my searches bring up info about Grids, which is the table-like tool).

Thanks.

@James McElroy The Snap objects board setting only appears to snap against other objects. I too couldn’t find a help article about the Show grid setting - only the other Grids.

On a kind-of related note, while searching the Help Center, I did come across a shortcut that I didn’t know existed. When you have Snap objects enabled, you can override this setting by holding the Ctrl (Cmd) key when clicking-and-dragging an object - found that in the Connection Lines help article.
