    WORKING WITH LAYERS

                     A Layer is like a transparent sheet stacked on top of others, allowing you to edit one part of your
                     work without affecting the images on the sheets below. You can make as many edits as you like
                     and still go back to your original work. By default, a new layer in the Layers panel is named Pixel.

                     In the Layers panel, these elements are organized into various buttons and tabs to help you
                     manage your design efficiently.
