You can organize layers and objects in a document by naming them and rearranging them in the Layers panel. Objects can be moved within a layer or between layers.

Moving layers and objects in the Layers panel changes the order in which objects appear on the canvas. Objects at the top of a layer appear above other objects in that layer on the canvas. Objects on the topmost layer appear in front of objects on lower layers.

To name a layer or object:

1. Double-click a layer or object in the Layers panel.

2. Type a new name for the layer or object and press Enter.

To move a layer or object:

• Drag the layer or object to the desired location in the Layers panel.

To move all selected objects on a layer to another location, do one of the following:

• Drag the layer's blue selection indicator to another layer.

• After selecting the objects, click once in the right-hand column (where the blue selection indicator would normally appear) of the destination layer.

All selected objects on the layer move to the other layer simultaneously.

To copy all selected objects on a layer to another location, do one of the following:

• Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh) the layer's blue selection indicator to another layer.

• After selecting the objects, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macintosh) once in the right-hand column (where the blue selection indicator would normally appear) of the destination layer.

Fireworks copies all selected objects on the layer to the other layer.
