In the Layers panel, select the layer that you want to contain the entities.

To move any entity to a different layer, follow these steps: By default, entities on shared layers have a dark red selection highlight, and entities on non-shared layers have a blue selection highlight. If you mistakenly add content to the wrong layer, you can move content from one layer to another of the same layer type. For example, in the following figure, the blue dot indicates the selection is on the Construction Phase layer. Tip: If youвЂ™re not sure on which layer an entity appears, select it in the drawing area, and a dot appears next to its layer in the Layers panel.

(Optional) To make the layer a shared layer, click the single-page icon in the layerвЂ™s far right column, and the icon changes to a four-page icon, indicating a shared layer.

For example, if you want the layer to hold all the headings at the top, Heading is an intuitive name.

Type a name for the layer and press Enter.

Double-click the new layerвЂ™s name to open the name for editing or select it and press Enter, as shown in the following figure (as the panel appears in Mac OS X).

A new, regular layer appears in the LayerвЂ™s panelвЂ™s list of layers, and becomes the active layer, which the red pencil icon indicates.

In the Layers panel, click the Add New Layer button (the plus sign).

To create a new regular or shared layer, follow these steps: When you create a layer, you have access to the layer on every page in your LayOut document, including new pages that you add. The Default layer works like a regular layer. Note: In LayOut, the Default layer is the layer on which all your content appears, well вЂ¦ by default - that is, if you donвЂ™t use layers at all.
