# Grid Layout (Legacy)

{% hint style="info" %}
We highly recommend that you use the [Block Grid](/umbraco-cms/13.latest/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/block-editor/block-grid-editor.md) instead.

The Grid Layout has been marked as obsolete and development on the property editor has been discontinued. It will be removed as a core property editor with the release of Umbraco 14, planned for Summer 2024.
{% endhint %}
