Enabled grid for 2d animation Absolute beginner here. I would like to make a very simple 2D animation using Blender, but am stuck at the very basic level, I don't even manage to enable a grid. I have searched the internet a lot for guides and video introductions, and found quite a lot of them, but none seem to show what you need to do to enable a grid, and snap-to that grid. 

When first opening a new "2D animation", there is a menu at the top that says "Guides", which seems to be intended to enable a grid, but it is greyed out, and selecting something in it does not change anything. After placing a first rectangle, the menu disappears.

So, how can I enable a grid, and enable snap-to the grid in the 2D Animation interface of Blender?

EDIT: Here is what my user interface looks like:
You can enable drawing guides and snapping in the Speed Guides Menu.


Check the small icon to enable it
Select the type of guides
Enable snapping and adjust the snapping grid size




You can also enable overlay grid in Viewport Overlay > Canvas and change it's appearance in Viewport Display > Canvas
