Using the Layers List

The Layers List is one of the primary tools for working with layers on your
slide.

You will use the Layers List to
access editing options for each
layer, control the order of your
layers, add new layers, and work
with advanced layer techniques
like Masking.

Understanding how the Layers List works is a very important first step in
using layers as part of your slide composition.

Reading the Layers List
Within the Layers List, you’ll see a tab for each layer that you add to a slide.
Each tab features a thumbnail view of layer, as well as the name and layer
type.

You’re always going to see at least one layer present in the list -even if your
slide only contains one image. Remember that every image becomes a
layer. Each layer displays the number of that layer in the overall order on
the slide. If you only have 1 layer, you’ll see that layer labeled as number 1.

As you hover over a layer, you'll also see a tool tip window that tells you
size of the image in the layer as well as the file path where that file is located
on your computer.
