Managing Pages and Layers

Most templates have more than one page, and most pages have more than one overlapping element. This page covers organizing both.

Adding a Page​

  1. Open the Pages tab in the left panel to see all the pages in your template.

  2. Open the Page menu and choose New Page — it's added after your current page.

    The Page menu open, with New Page, Duplicate Page, and Delete Page

  3. Click the new page's thumbnail in the left panel to switch to it.

Duplicating and Deleting a Page​

  1. Select the page you want to copy in the Pages tab.
  2. Open the Page menu and choose Duplicate Page — an identical copy is added right after it.
  3. To remove a page, select it and choose Delete Page from the Page menu. If you have multiple pages selected, this becomes Delete Pages.

Both items are in the Page menu shown under Adding a Page.

Changing Page Settings​

  1. Click an empty area of the page (make sure nothing is selected).

  2. The right panel shows the page's properties: name, width and height, type, background color, and bleed.

  3. Update the name field so the page is easy to identify in the Pages tab.

  4. Adjust width and height to resize the page itself (not an element on it).

  5. Turn on bleed and set the top/right/bottom/left values if your template needs printer's bleed — use the link button next to the bleed values to set all four sides at once.

Layering Elements​

When elements overlap, their stacking order determines what's on top.

  1. Select an element that's hidden behind another one.

  2. Open the Arrange menu and choose Bring to Front to move it above everything else, or Bring Forward to move it up just one level.

  3. Use Send to Back or Send Backward the same way to move an element down the stack.

    The Arrange menu open, with Bring to Front, Bring Forward, Send to Back, and Send Backward visible

Using the Layers Panel​

  1. Open the Layers tab in the left panel to see every element on the current page, listed in stacking order.

  2. Click a layer's name to select that element on the canvas — useful when elements overlap too much to click directly.

  3. Drag a layer up or down in the list to reorder it, same effect as the Arrange menu commands above.

Grouping Elements​

  1. Select multiple elements at once (click one, then shift-click the others, or drag a selection box around them).

  2. Open the Arrange menu and choose Group — they now move, resize, and select together as one unit.

    The Arrange menu open, with Group and Ungroup visible

  3. To edit one element inside the group again, select the group and choose Ungroup from the same menu.
