The reference point will allow you to fix the positioning of your rooms in case they got changed after you redid your boundary or similar. Here the steps:

In case that your room now has moved after starting the app again, you can do the following to fix the alignment again:

4. Press the save button

This should result in the room being in the right spot again. In case there is something wrong at the moment, restart the app and everything should be back to normal.
