SVG Layer Editing

Use the Layer Manager toggle on the right side of the app.

For an imported SVG, the Layer Manager shows:

• the file as a top-level item
• nested groups or layers from within the SVG
• individual sublayers within those groups

The structure reflects the layer and group hierarchy of the SVG itself.

For regular layers you can:

• select the layer
• reorder it by dragging
• show or hide it

When multiple items are selected, the panel also shows Group and Clear.

For grouped items, the available actions include:

• Rename group
• Ungroup items
• Delete group and contents
• Add selected to this group
• Show group or Hide group

When you are editing inside a group, the Layer Manager shows an Editing: banner and a Done button to exit the group edit mode.

When you select a sublayer, the sidebar shows Sublayer Edit controls:

• Visible - show or hide this sublayer
• Opacity - adjust transparency
• X and Y - adjust the sublayer's position independently
• Reset Position - return to the original position
• Nudge buttons - small directional adjustments in set increments
• Scale - resize the sublayer
• Reset Scale - return to the original size
• Reset Sublayer - undo all sublayer adjustments

A Deselect sublayer button returns you to the main canvas selection.

SVG sublayer editing is most useful when:

• you want to hide part of an imported SVG
• you want to move or scale one element without affecting the whole file
• you received a complex SVG from another design tool and want to make small corrections before running the job

For larger structural changes, it is usually more practical to edit the SVG in its original application and reimport it.
