How to Show Layers in Canva?

Published in Canva Tutorials 2 mins read

To show layers in Canva, select the Layers option located on the toolbar below the editor.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  1. Locate the Toolbar: Look for the toolbar situated at the bottom of the Canva editor.
  2. Find the Layers Option: Scroll through the toolbar options. The "Layers" button might not be immediately visible, so swipe or scroll horizontally to view all available options.
  3. Select Layers: Once you locate the "Layers" option, click or tap on it. This will open the Layers panel.
  4. Managing Layers: The Layers panel displays all the elements in your design, stacked in order. You can then:
    • Reorder the layers by dragging and dropping them to change their stacking order (bring elements forward or send them backward).
    • Select individual layers to edit them.
    • Lock or unlock layers to prevent accidental changes.
    • Hide or show layers to temporarily remove them from view.

If you are having trouble finding the Layers panel:

  • Ensure you are in the Canva editor: The Layers panel is only accessible when you are actively editing a design.
  • Check your screen resolution: If your screen resolution is low, some toolbar options might be hidden. Try increasing your resolution or zooming out.
  • Update Canva: Make sure you are using the latest version of Canva. Outdated versions might have different interface layouts.
