Tip: To temporarily turn Snap to Grid off for one move, hold down the Alt key and move the container.Â
Unfortunately, Snap to Grid can't be turned off or on in OneNote for the Mac.Â
Turning snap to grid on or off isn't currently possible in OneNote for the web. You can, however, turn snap to grid on or off in the OneNote desktop app.
