Why is the interface of the grid layout changing? Same for the text box. I personally think that it is way more comfortable working with the text editor and the grid layout being positioned on the right hand side instead of the boxes opening up in the middle of the canvas. It often leads to difficulties reaching the boxes to edit layout or text.
our developers changing the layout of grid and text boxes by moving setup options to inspector panel based on the feedback we are receiving from users and our internal features monitoring. Here is the announcement of the grid experience for example:
