The Layers panel helps you find and organise the items in your design, especially when they overlap. You can change their order, hide them temporarily, and collect related items into groups.
Find an item in Layers
In the editor sidebar, open Layers & Inputs, then choose Layers. The list is organised by page and opens at your current page. Expand a page or group with the arrow beside it to see its contents. Select a row to select that item in your design; this can help you reach an item hidden behind another one on the canvas.
Arrange, hide and rename layers
Within a page, layers at the top of the list appear in front of layers below them. Drag a layer or group up or down the list to change its order. You can also drag a layer into a group or out onto the page. Background layers cannot be dragged, and template restrictions may prevent rearranging other layers.
Use the eye icon beside a visual layer or group to hide it without deleting it; select the icon again to show it. A group’s eye changes the visibility of its contents together. Showing a group again also shows any members you had hidden individually. Visibility controls may be unavailable on restricted elements.
Double-click a layer or group name to rename it where editing is permitted. Renaming a text layer changes its label in Layers, not the words on the canvas. To change the text itself, edit it on the canvas or use Quick Input where available.
Create a group
Select two or more ungrouped items on the canvas. Right-click and choose Group to name the group, or press COMMAND + G (Mac) or CTRL + G (PC) to group them immediately. The shortcut creates a group named “Group”; you can rename it in Layers.
To start with an empty group instead, select New Group at the bottom of Layers, name it, then drag layers into it. Groups cannot be placed inside other groups; template restrictions may prevent grouping.
Work with a group or one of its items
Click a grouped item on the canvas to select the group. Click it again to select that item, or hold COMMAND (Mac) or CTRL (PC) while clicking to select the item straight away.
Right-click a grouped item for Select Group, or choose Remove from group to take it out when the group has other items. If it is the group’s only item, choose Ungroup instead. You can also drag its row out of the group in Layers.
To keep the items but remove the grouping, select the group and choose Ungroup from its ellipsis menu on the canvas. Deleting a group instead deletes its items; see How to delete Groups of Layers.
