New layers will appear in the Layer List.

• Use casting (mouse/touch) to interact directly with the layer content

Reordering Layers

• Drag and drop layers using the grab handle in the Layer List

• The order determines how layers are displayed on the canvas

  • Layers higher in the list appear in front

Each layer includes quick controls:
