Naming layers can be helpful when organizing content. Currently, the rectangle you created is
on this layer.



  1. Click the Create New Layer button ( ) at the bottom of the Layers panel, to create a new,
    blank layer.




  2. Double-click the new layer name, Layer 2, and type Content. Press Return or Enter to change
    the layer name.




By creating multiple layers in your artwork, you can control how overlapping objects are
displayed. In the document, artwork on the Content layer will be on top of the artwork on the
Background layer since the Content layer is above the Background layer in the Layers panel.


  1. Click the eye icon ( ) to the left of the Background layer name to temporarily hide the
    rectangle on the background layer.
