Show All & Unlock All
These two controls on the top of the Page & Layer Gallery
are a short-cut to show all items on the current page or unlock all items. They are a temporary override
of all the individual object and layer settings. Clicking the controls again will restore the previous state. So
this is a quick way of showing or unlocking everything, on all layers, performing some operation, and then
restoring the previous state.
The Unlock all button is useful if you have a locked object on the canvas that you want to unlock, without
having to first locate it in the Page & Layer Gallery. Turn on 'Unlock all', then right click on the object on
the canvas and choose the Unlock option from the context menu. Then you can turn 'Unlock all' off
again.
When either button is selected (the buttons are shown pressed in), then it's not possible to change the
state of individual items. Un-select the buttons to enable the normal operation of the layer visibility and
locking state.
Clicking the More button will display menu options to Show all on page and Unlock all on page
.
Moving Objects Between Layers
There are several ways to move objects between layers. First select the object or objects you want to
move, then;

Cut the object (Ctrl+X or right click and Cut). Ensure the target layer is the current layer (shown
with , click the layer if it's not) and then right click and choose Paste or Paste in Place. Note
that if you cut or copy multiple items that are on different layers, the layer structure is preserved
when you paste. Items are pasted to the same layer they were copied/cut from, instead of being
pasted to the current layer. If you want to paste all such items to the current layer, ignoring the
layer structure, use the Paste in current layer option instead. If you want to retain layer
structure, choose Paste in place in current layer. These paste options are also in the clipboard
fly-out bar on the top bar, as well as the Edit menu.

Right click and choose Arrange then Move to layer in front / Move to layer behind to shift
the selected objects one layer up or down.

Ensure the target layer is selected as current, then find the selected item in the Page & Layer
Gallery (click the Locate button), right click and select Move to Current Layer.
