telemax Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 It's a symbol. Instance object / layer.

Kuis Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 In my specific problem, is I can't select any layer, but the layer are not locked. I don't know if is for there are symbols, or what's the problem. Originally I think was the symbol orange gradient. But now I don't know if is the symbol gradient or something else.

telemax Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 You are working inside the symbol layer. You need to create objects outside of it.

telemax Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 On your video, the root symbol's layer is hidden above. Scroll up your layers panel. Layer (Master A) not visible.

But now I don't know if is the symbol gradient or something else. You seem to be in Publisher, where the orange bar indicates that the contents came from a Master Page. They will in some situations act like they are locked, and if you need to make certain changes to them you need to right-click on the Master Page layer and choose Edit Detached. telemax 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.3, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Pages are implemented by Symbols, but I agree that a different colour would help distinguish them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, the use of Symbols on Master Pages is really successful.

Some people prefer knowledge to ignorance, so speak for yourself. I provided an explanation for the colour being the same. I agreed with you that a different colour would be beneficial.
