To interact with elements on layers in Wix and manage their order, you use the Layers panel.
The Layers panel in the Wix Editor allows you to easily select elements, see their hierarchical structure within the Header, Page, or Footer, and change their arrangement (which element appears in front of or behind another).
Here's how you use the Layers panel according to the provided information:
Accessing and Using the Layers Panel
The process involves opening the panel and navigating through the different sections of your page to find and select the specific element you want to manage.
Steps to Manage Elements Using Layers:
- Go to your editor. Open the Wix Editor for your website.
- Click Layers on the bottom left of the editor. This button opens the Layers panel, revealing a list of elements on your page.
- Click either Header, Page, or Footer to view the elements in that area. Your site is divided into these main sections. Elements are organized within the Layers panel according to which section they belong to.
- Locate the relevant element from the list and click it. Find the specific element you want to work with in the list. Clicking it will select the element on your canvas and highlight it in the Layers panel.
- Choose what you want to do with the element:
- Move the element forward / backward: Once an element is selected via the Layers panel, you can change its position relative to other overlapping elements by moving it forward (bringing it closer to the front) or backward (sending it closer to the back). This changes its Z-index.
This process allows you to precisely select elements, especially those that might be difficult to click directly on the canvas because they are small, hidden, or overlapped. It also provides a clear overview of how elements are stacked on your page within each section.
Using the Layers panel is essential for fine-tuning the design and layout of your Wix website, ensuring elements are ordered exactly as you intend.
