You can use the Layer dialog either as docking [tabbed page] or as single window.
If you want to
release the docked window, then click on the icon top right
.
If you want to dock the released window, then move it to the left or right window border with pressed mouse key and release the mouse key at the desired position. If the dialogs Elements and Layer are positioned side by side, then they are displayed as tabbed pages.
Should the tabbed page Layer not be displayed currently, then you can achieve this in the following ways:
Each element (logo, derivation, technical views, table, etc.) is positioned on its own layer. All elements used in the template are listed on the tabbed page Layer. The sequence mirrors the layer position. The higher a list entry, the further in front the layer of the respective element will be.
On the Layer tabbed page you can perform the following actions:
Select the
layer to be deleted (the element to be deleted) and then click on the
icon. You can perform the same action via the respective toolbar icon
.
Raises the layer of the chosen items: You can perform the same action vial the
respective toolbar icon 
.
Lowers the layer of the chosen items: You can perform the same action vial the
respective toolbar icon 
.
By clicking on the toolbar icon or the plus-minus icon on the Layer tabbed page you can move the layer of the selected object to the front or to the back. The higher the entry in the list, on the Layer tabbed page, the further forward the layer of the selected element will be.
Edit layer name/ element
name:
Select the desired layer and enter the new name in the dialog box Name.
A locked layer cannot be used. Meaning that mouse clicks do not hit the locked layer, but click through the layer. If the cursor is moved over a locked element, the one behind will react.
Here the green rectangle1 is locked. Once the cursor is moved over, the blue rectangle2 behind is reacting (indicated by the light green marking frame).
The function can also be used, in order to protect a ready formatted element against further changes.
