I cannot belive that Adobe express does not have guides and rulers. I see htis has been mentioned many many times but has not been added. My kids bought me a subscription for Adobe Express Christmas (thinking it would be much better than Canva) but I am VERY dissapointed. I keep having to go back to Canva to get things done. VERY SAD

    Hi @slc2025

    Sorry for your frustration with Adobe Express. I know Rules and Guides is one of our top feature requests. https://adobe.ly/4fPBQC8 Hopefully this feature will be added soon. Despite the lack of this feature I hope you're able to find other features that are beneficial for you in Express. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. 

    Cheers,
    Dave

    and to blank layers in the preview if the opacity is 0 is the cherry on the missing guidelines cream.

      They should not even include templates where measurements matter if guidelines are not available. I can't even make a simple resume because I can't line up headers. 🤦🏻‍♀️

          You have been saying this for a cpl yrs now judging by old posts and threads.  How can you say you understand how important it is at this point?  Its a simple and basic tool for design yet still missing. Clearly adobe don't care and rather we switch to canva, which I didn't know had grinds and will switching my newest project over there since its an absolute must for it. Spent over 12 hrs trying to make stuff right without it. I found this looking for a way to active the grinds that apperently yall dont have. What a waste of time and such a disappointment. Adobe isn't new to design. No excuse at this point.

            100% agree, absolutley no reason this has not been added other than Adobe is lazy and just ignores their customers as it has been years now ... will go back to Canva.

                I agree completely! I was  die hard Adobe user and fan for years until they priced me out. Went to Canva but wasnt as professional with the lack of vector software. So went back to Express but so disappointed I will be seeking other options. Come on now, still no rulers????

                    But seriously, what is the resistance to adding the feature? Is it coming or not? I am literally deleting this project I just started and switching to Canva for this one also because of it.
