Layers and folders

Every canvas component (text, image, video, YouTube, timer, QR) is a separate layer. Layers are listed on the Layers tab with their type, name and Z: layers with a higher Z sit on top.

Layers list

The icons above the list filter layers by type: text, widgets, media, YouTube, overlays. The two icons on the right show or hide all components at once.

Selecting, visibility and locking​

  • Click a layer in the list or a component on the canvas: it is selected in both places.
  • The eye hides a component. It stays in the list and can be shown again. Hidden components can also be revealed with a button in the bottom toolbar.
  • Locking (the padlock) prevents dragging the component on the canvas.

Layer context menu​

Right-click a layer:

Layer context menu

  • Hide / show, Lock / Unlock, Rename;
  • Reset: restore position, size or rotation;
  • Bring to Front, Send to Back: a quick way to change Z;
  • Move to Folder;
  • Delete. Several selected layers are deleted at once.

You can also drag a layer to another position within its folder.

Folders​

Folders group layers: for example, one for the pre-stream screen and another for alerts.

  1. Type a name into New folder name (up to 20 characters) and click +.
  2. Drag layers into the folder or pick Move to Folder in the layer's context menu.
  3. Right-click a folder: Rename, Delete, Show All, Hide All. The last two toggle the visibility of every layer inside.

The "Default folder" exists from the start and cannot be deleted or renamed. A folder that still contains layers cannot be deleted either: move or delete the layers first.
