Working with layers
When you create a new publication from scratch or from some design
templates, the page(s) you create will initially consist of two layers—one
for the page (Layer 1) and one for the associated master page (see p. 33).
The layers can be seen within a hierarchical stack on the Layers tab.
One layer may be enough to accommodate the elements of a particular
layout, but you can create additional layers as needed for the page.
However, multiple layers are useful when you're working on a complex
design where it makes sense to separate one cluster of objects from
another. You can work on one layer at a time without worrying about
affecting elements on a different layer.
A useful feature of the Layers tab is that you can see objects under the
layer on which they were created. By expanding the layer by clicking
,
these objects are displayed—with a click, they can be selected on the
page.
Master Layer, Layer 1 and Layer
2 from bottom to top.
Cumulative layers as seen on
the page.
In order to create new objects on a particular layer, you'll need to select
the layer.
