Adding Media to the Layers Tab
Any media you have dragged to the Canvas from the Library (or imported by choosing
File > Import) appears in the Layers tab. You can also drag media directly to the Layers
tab.
To add media directly to the Layers tab:
1 In the File Browser or Library, select the file you want to import.
2 Drag the file to the Layers tab, and do one of the following:
• To add the file to an existing layer, position the file over the layer. When a black
outline appears around the layer in the list, release the mouse button.
The object is added as the topmost object in that layer.
