Visually organizing layers

Jump to Mobile


When working with a number of layers, color coding them can help you quickly distinguish one from another. It also helps you group content to create one visual component. Say you’re designing a car. You could assign all components that make up the steering wheel one color. For the tires, you assign another color. Then, whenever you want steering wheel components, you look for layers with the same assigned color.

At the bottom left corner of each layer is a circle . Tap it to access a marking menu of available colors. Select a color to assign it to that layer, making it easier to distinguish it from the others.
