HELPPPPPP plsssss created new layer now my work disappeared


Recommended Posts

Using Affinity Designer:
I created a new layer and moved multiple "groups" into that layer. The layer folder has a square with a colored circle icon, and within the layer, the groups' icons have a square with a slash through it that resembles the vector crop tool. All of my work looks like it has disappeared from my artboard. How do I fix this??????????? I wish I can attach an image to explain what this looks like....

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

You should be able to attach a screenshot, so please try again.

For a guess, it sounds like you did not drag the groups into the layer properly. Make sure that you drag them over the layer name, not the layer thumbnail. As you're dragging, make sure the blue line is entirely to the right of the target layer's thumbnail.

Screenshots or file would help a lot - but if it looks like this:

then right click the thumbnail of the group and select release mask:

And the group re-emerges:
