Rulers, Dimensions for Images/Art, and Smart Guides
Our team is trying to produce quality templates for non-designers to produce social content, but the limitations of the tool make it hard to create high-quality templates and precisely position items.
Rulers:
This is pretty basic. I just want to know what the dimensions of a project are, and know where items are positioned. Having rulers present, and the position of an item would be a huge help.
Dimensions for Images/Art:
When placing an image, I currently have to zoom in to see whether an image is properly aligned with the edge of the project frame. Snapping only kicks in when an image is being moved, not resized, so it's really hard to be exact. Either allowing you to specify the dimensions of an image, allowing snapping during resizing, or both would solve for this.
Smart Guides:
Similar to Illustrator, InDesign, or Photoshop, more expansive smart guides would help with precise positioning and be useful for all users. A good start would be adding snapping and alignment guides while scaling content as I previously mentioned.

I am glad that I'm not the only one! It's hard to have consistent dimensions of our logo when there is a whole team that creates social media posts. I know you can have the logo as a part of a brand, but it is smaller than the minimum size allowed.. so it has to be enlarged every time.
