In this Adobe XD video, we're going to look at how the Square Grid can help designers nudge layers 8 pixels at a time, versus the default of 10. When the Square Grid is active, you're able to define the size of that grid, and since layers are made to snap to its edges, using the Shift + [arrow] shortcut will let you nudge based on the defined size.

To quickly show/hide the Square Grid, the Command/CTRL + ' shortcut can be used.
