Create a Grid Style

To create a new Grid style, let’s start by creating a new frame and go to Layout grid section and add new Grid.

Next, select your grid element to open the Layout grid’s settings modal.

Select the Grid menu and choose Column in the left corner of the grid modal.

Next, add the following Grid settings:

Count: 6

Type: Stretch

Gutter: 20

After that, hit the four dots icons in the Grid section to trigger the grid styles modal.
Click the + icon in the right corner of the Grid styles modal.

Let’s give our style the name of Grid Style 1 then hit Create style button.
