Organizing layers

You can organize layers and objects in a document by naming them and rearranging them in
the Layers panel. Objects can be moved within a layer or between layers.
Moving layers and objects in the Layers panel changes the order in which objects appear on
the canvas. Objects at the top of a layer appear above other objects in that layer on the canvas.
Objects on the topmost layer appear in front of objects on lower layers.
The Layers panel auto-scrolls when you drag a layer or object up or down beyond the
bounds of the viewable area.

To name a layer or object:

1. Double-click a layer or object in the Layers panel.
2. Type a new name for the layer or object and press Enter.
The Web Layer cannot be renamed. However, you can name web objects on the
Web Layer, such as slices and hotspots. For more information, see
Layer" on page

To move a layer or object:

Drag the layer or object to the desired location in the Layers panel.
To move all selected objects on a layer to another location:
Drag the layer's blue selection indicator to another layer.
All selected objects on the layer move to the other layer simultaneously.
To copy all selected objects on a layer to another location:
Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh) the layer's blue selection indicator to
another layer.
Fireworks copies all selected objects on the layer to the other layer.

Protecting layers and objects

The Layers panel offers a number of options that let you control the accessibility of objects.
