Hi Ghana,
The arrows above control the auto layout direction, and you can control spacing with these three inputs below:

  1. gap between items in your auto layout
  2. horizontal padding
  3. vertical padding

Not sure if this is intentional, probably a bug, but you can toggle this by double-clicking in the alignment grid.

Just spent an hour blindly trying to find what used to be clear, are you kidding me we’re doubleclicking on hidden options to do things now? 😖

This is basic flexbox stuff, this is important.

Like before, you can enter Auto in the spacing field. Not very intuitive but this always worked like this, even in the old UI. I wish had a separate toggle though for clarity.
