This Layer Priority feature allows you to manage the visual “depth” of any element on your canvas. By utilizing this setting, you can ensure that specific assets stay exactly where they belong in the visual stack, regardless of the order in which other items are added. Think of your design as a series of stacked layers. Normally, the most recently added item sits on top, but this feature allows you to override that rule:
  • The Top-Most Layer (Foreground): Enabling this option “pins” an element to the absolute front of your design. It will perpetually float above all other content—even if you add new images or text later. This is ideal for logos, watermarks, or decorative frames that should never be hidden.
  • The Bottom-Most Layer (Background): This option anchors an element to the very back of the canvas. It serves as a permanent foundation, ensuring that every other item you add to the project sits on top of it. This is perfect for background textures or base templates.

​
