First off, to activate snapping, you can click on the little magnet, or press SHIFT+Tab on your keyboard

Increment – this snaps your object to a set length based on the units you’ve set in your scene properties.

Note – if you enable absolute grid snap, this will snap your objects to the increments set in your grid

Vertex – Snaps your object based on one vertex to another vertex
Acts differently based on closest, center, median, active (active is based on object origin)

This is a great tool for aligning Archipack walls before detailing them
Edge – aligns an object somewhere (anywhere) along an edge
