# Using the alignment tools?

## Alignment tools

When multiple selecting elements in advanced grid or Pro Layout (either via drag-to-select or keyboard controls) , we offer helpful alignment tools to make the rearrangement of elements even easier.

To expose the alignment tools, simply multi-select elements in advanced grid or Pro layout- the tools will appear on the right-side contextual panel.

Use these selection tools to:

* Left align selected elements
* Horizontal center align selected elements
* Right align selected elements
* Top align selected elements
* Vertical center align selected elements
* Bottom align selected elements
* Distribute horizontally selected elements (only available in Pro layout)
* Distribute vertically selected elements (only available in Pro layout)
* Align to grid , if one element is selected (only available in Pro layout)

Here's an example of how to use the alignment tools to top align the selected elements:

Using these shortcut tools makes aligning multiple elements in advanced grid and Pro layout simple and effortless.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.maker.co/maker-pages/advanced-features/using-the-alignment-tools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
