When working with complex projects, you can find layers and objects quickly by using the Objects docker.

You can move or copy layers on a single page or between pages. You can also move or copy selected objects to new layers, including layers on the master page.

Moving and copying layers affects the stacking order. Moving or copying an object to a layer below its current layer causes the object to become the top object on its new layer. Similarly, moving or copying an object to a layer above its current layer causes the object to become the bottom object on its new layer.

When you add a new page, objects that reside on the desktop are kept on the layer where they were created and do not appear on the new page. You can have such objects moved to the Desktop layer automatically so that they appear on all document pages.

You can move and copy an object to another layer by dragging the object to a new layer in the Objects docker.

You can also move an object to another layer by using an Order command. For more information, see To move an object in the stacking order.
