Moving and copying layers and objects

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.

To move a layer Back to Top
1.
 
If the Object manager docker is not open, click Tools Object manager.
2.
 
In the layers list, drag a layer name to a new position.
You can change the order of the master layers relative to local layers by displaying the list of all layers for the current page and dragging a layer name to a new position in the layers list. To display all layers for a page, click a page name, click the Layer manager view button at the top of the Object manager docker, and choose Current page, layers only.
