Layer Panel

The Layer panel lets you organize nodes into layers. Click the layer icon button on the right side of the toolbar to show it.

Layer Stacking Order

Layers lower in the list are drawn in front (on top).

Layer Operations

  • Add: Click the + button at the bottom of the layer list to create a new layer
  • Rename: Click a layer name to edit it
  • Show/hide: Click the eye icon. Hidden nodes are not visible and excluded from exports
  • Lock/unlock: Click the lock icon. Locked layer nodes cannot be selected
  • Composite preview: each layer card shows a merged preview of the nodes in that layer
  • Opacity: use the slider to set 0% to 100% for the whole layer; the value is saved
  • Blend mode: choose layer compositing modes such as Normal, Multiply, and Screen; the value is saved
  • Reorder: Drag layers to change their stacking order
  • Delete: Click the delete button next to a layer to remove it and all its nodes
  • Node list labels: you can rename node names by double-clicking. When left empty, text nodes show their content, builtin icons show their icon name, and other nodes show their type name (without IDs)

Moving Nodes Between Layers

Drag nodes within the layer panel to move them to a different layer.

💡 Within a layer, nodes listed higher in the panel are drawn behind nodes listed lower. Node reordering within a layer is not currently available from the panel.
