<p>Click on the eye icon to change the visibility of a layer. Click on the lock icon to lock or unlock a layer. A locked layer can not be modified.</p>
<h3>Hide and show layers</h3>
<p>You can control the visibility of any layer by clicking the eye icon next to it in the Layers panel. When a layer is hidden, it will not appear on the canvas, but you can still select it in the Layers panel, move its order, or modify its properties. The eye icon always indicates whether a layer is visible or hidden, making it easy to manage complex designs.</p>
<h3>Lock and unlock layers</h3>
<p>Locking a layer helps prevent accidental changes or movement on the canvas. When a layer is locked, it cannot be moved or edited directly in the canvas area. However, you can still select a locked layer in the Layers panel and adjust its properties, such as color, effects, or name. The lock icon next to the layers name shows its locked status, helping you keep your design organized and protected.</p>
