provided in the ONLINE CONTENT CATALOG, you should not have any problems with layer
ordering on your website.

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.
Applying settings to popup layers

You can apply a transition to a popup layer to control how the layer appears, as well as
choosing how the popup layer closes.

1. Click the layer in the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY and click the PROPERTIES button at the
top of the gallery.
2. Click the POP-UP SETTINGS tab of the Layer properties dialog.
3. Choose an effect from the TRANSITION EFFECT drop-down list and move the slider to
set a speed for the transition in seconds.
4. Choose how you want the popup layer to close using the check box. Leave it
unchecked if you want the popup layer to stay open until you close it manually, or
else check the box if you want it to close automatically when you click on another
part of the webpage.
5. Click APPLY.
