Summary

If you take the time to integrate layers into your workflow, you can save time and effort in creating multilingual publications , produce multiple versions of a document, and benefit from greater flexibility with objects. Until you create new layers, all the objects are placed on the default layers. Although each layer has its own stacking order, the order of layers also affects stacking order.

You can create objects on the active layer, and you can move objects to different layers. Even though objects are on layers, you can continue to select and modify them as you normally would provided that the layers are visible and unlocked. Hiding layers suppresses the printout of objects, in addition to preventing their display. To streamline a document, you can merge and delete layers.
