No option for gridlines (PowerPoint, Chromebook)

Hi @Rudaina Al-Najjar, 

Thank you for posting your question to the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

I completely understand how valuable gridlines can be when working in PowerPoint, especially for precise alignment and layout. 

Since you're using a Chromebook, PowerPoint Online is the available version and at the moment, it doesn’t include the gridlines feature. That said, you can still take advantage of alignment guides and smart guides, which appear automatically as you move objects and can be very helpful for consistent positioning. 

We recognize how important this functionality is to your workflow. I encourage you to share your feedback directly through the Microsoft Feedback Portal. Input from users like you plays a key role in shaping future updates and enhancements.
