Slide grid snapping and comment anywhere for presentation slides in a cloud collaboration platform

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• display, by a cloud collaboration platform, a slide in a presentation wherein the slide includes at least an object and a grid comprising rows and columns;
• receive, by the cloud collaboration platform, an input indicating a selection of the object;
• receive, by the cloud collaboration platform, a second input indicating a movement of the object;
• interpret, by the cloud collaboration platform, the movement of the object based on the rows and columns in the grid,
• wherein the object attaches to a particular row in the rows and a particular column in the columns upon the reception of a third input indicating an end to the movement of the object, and
• wherein the particular row and the particular column are determined based on a proximity between the object and the particular row and the particular column when the third input is received;
• and
• render, by the cloud collaboration platform, the slide in the presentation based on the interpreted movement of the selected object.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, by a cloud collaboration platform, a slide in a presentation wherein the slide includes at least an object and a grid comprising rows and columns;
• receiving, by the cloud collaboration platform, an input indicating a selection of the object;
• receiving, by the cloud collaboration platform, a second input indicating a movement of the object;
• interpreting, by the cloud collaboration platform, the movement of the object based on the rows and columns in the grid,
• wherein the object attaches to a particular row in the rows and a particular column in the columns upon the reception of a third input indicating an end to the movement of the object, and
• wherein the particular row and the particular column are determined based on a proximity between the object and the particular row and the particular column when the third input is received;
• and
• rendering, by the cloud collaboration platform, the slide in the presentation based on the interpreted movement of the selected object.
