Reorder layers and hiding layers on opening a file.

Ian LHC · 2025-07-29T15:46:52+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi All,

I accidentally added a layer at the end of the long list of existing layers. Has anyone found a way to reorder the layer list?

I would also like to hide one of the layers I created by default and open it only when I need it. Is this possible?

Thank you ahead,

Ian

You can click and drag to re-order, it should stay on manual sorting unless you have "Sort Layers Alphabetically" checked under the Layer dropdown.

Right click on your layer, go to layer properties and set the "Default State" to Off

Invisible text when editing (and sometimes creating) markups
What is up with the invisible text while editing a markup? This has been a recurring and persistent phenomenon that has remained through several updates of the BB subscription, over perhaps the last year.
