the General tab of the Options dialog (right click a page and choose Page Options or choose Options
from the Utilities menu) to make the current layers always visible and editable (unlocked). If you select
this option then whenever you select any layer in the Page & Layer Gallery
it's made visible and unlocked. Moving to another layer will restore the previous visible and locked state
of the layer you just moved from.
Layers on websites
In websites saved from Web Designer Premium, layers are used for mouseover or pop-up effects (in the
web browser the contents of these layers are displayed when you move over items on the page).
You can find more details on this in the Web Graphics and Web Sites chapter in the Layers, Mouseover
(Rollover) & Pop-ups
section.
Soft Groups and Layers
Soft Groups (Soft Groups, Soft Groups) are unusual because they are groups of objects that can span
different layers. (Normal groups have to be contained within one layer). When you select any part of a
soft group the other parts are also selected, even if they are on hidden or locked layers. The Page &
Layer Gallery
will show all selected items highlighted in blue, but in the case of soft groups these items may be on other
layers that you've not expanded, and so are not immediately visible.
