Are you referring to the grid snapping? It looks like all the configurations are static currently, although we could file this as an enhancement request.

Hi @jbudz,  
Yes, it'll be nice if she adds like this as an enhancement request.

Hey radi,

I just found [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/16763](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/16763) which increases the number of columns the number of columns for dashboard widgets from 12 to 48. Does that cover your use case? I took a closer look at the module we're using for the grid and it doesn't look like it allows disabling entirely.
