Locking layers

You can lock layers and the canvas to avoid accidentally changing them. When the canvas or a layer is locked, you cannot select it with the Layer Adjuster tool in the document window. You can, however, move a locked layer or shape by nudging it.

To lock or unlock a layer or the canvas

1 In the Layers panel, select one or more layers or the canvas.

2 Do one of the following:

• Click the Lock button

• Click the Layer options button

, and choose Lock or Unlock.

The Locked icon

appears next to a locked layer or locked canvas in the Layers panel.

You can also unlock all layers at any time by choosing Layers Unlock All Layers.
