The alignment check window shows, all the aligned items in different colors and a specific toolbar:

Fix Alingment

When clicking on the button, the aligned items list is shown.

By clicking on one of the aligned items, the manual alignment panel opens to allow the user to fix the automatically perfomed alignment.

In the manual alignment step are shown, in the center of the window, the fixed or reference element to which the detailed item will be aligned; in the upper right corner, the floating or moving item that will be matched with the reference; a specific toolbar.
