Summary

The Layers feature provides you with the ability to make multiple versions or changes without changing the entire drawing. Layers allow you to store visual information on separate layers to indicate differences and to edit those layers independently.

The Layers feature is accessible from the 2nd icon on the top right toolbar. The image below shows all default functionality.
