Working with layers
The Layers palette is the “control center” for layers. You can hide, show, lock, or
unlock layers with a single click in this palette. You also can use this palette to
specify the active layer (where newly drawn objects will go), to rearrange the
stacking order of layers, to merge layers, and to move objects from one layer to
another.
Each layer you create has a unique color swatch in the Layers palette. When you
create an item on a layer, the item’s bounding box and handles use that layer’s
color.
To display the Layers palette, choose View > Layers.
