title: "Use layers and groups"
|
|
description: "Find overlapping elements, control stacking order, and organize related items."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Click **Inspector**, then open **Layers** for a structured view of the elements in the current composition.
|
|
|
|
Use it when something is hidden, difficult to click, outside the frame, or part of a group.
|
|
|
|
## Select from Layers
|
|
|
|
Click a layer to select the matching element on the canvas and timeline.
|
|
|
|
The selection stays connected across Studio: choosing an item in one area helps you locate it in the others.
|
|
|
|
## Control what appears on top
|
|
|
|
Stacking order controls which visual covers another when they overlap. Move an element forward or backward when the wrong item is covering it.
|
|
|
|
Timeline tracks organize timing; they are not automatically the same as visual stacking order.
|
|
|
|
## Group elements
|
|
|
|
Group items that should move and stay organized as one unit. You can later open or ungroup them when you need to edit the individual children.
|
|
|
|
## Nested compositions
|
|
|
|
A nested composition is a reusable scene inside another composition. Expand it in the timeline or open it directly, then use the breadcrumb to return to the parent.
|
|
|
|
Edit the nested composition when the change should affect that reusable scene itself. Edit the parent when you only need to change when or where the scene appears.
