@ramsaptami I set up Appsmith locally but can't find "zone" or "anvil" anywhere in the application. I can't able to reproduce the issue. Is this related to Anvil project?

@SaiCharanChetpelly31 that's correct, it's part of the Anvil which is still a work in progress. Please look at issues marked 'good first issue' if you're looking to contribute

We will create a comprehensive algorithm for this to guide the default widget placement. This is an exercise in combinatorics that would require significant time investment. As far as priorities go this is rather low for now: we have more foundational needs to address. First, we need to have a bigger widget set so that we don't have to immediately overhaul this algo and polish the base of the experience.
