Protecting layers and objects
The Layers panel offers a number of options that let you control the accessibility of objects.
You can protect objects in your document from inadvertent selection and editing. Locking a layer
prevents objects on that layer from being selected or edited. The Single Layer Editing feature
protects objects on all but the active layer from unwanted selection or changes. You can also use
the Layers panel to control the visibility of objects and layers on the canvas. When an object or
layer is hidden in the Layers panel, it does not appear on the canvas, so it cannot be inadvertently
changed or selected.
Note: Hidden layers and objects are not included when you export your document. Objects on the
Web Layer can always be exported, however, whether they are hidden or not. For more information
about exporting, see
To lock a layer:
