telemax Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Edit All Layers button This only works with a special layer created in Affinity Designer Layers.afdesign This allows you to work with many objects in a particular layer, ignoring everything except this layer. This way you can work with a very complex design without being afraid of accidentally moving objects on the bottom layers. You can also change the layer label color, by right-clicking on the layer > Properties. This will also change the bounding box color.

John Rostron Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 @telemax, it is nice to see some short, highly-targetted tutorials like this. However it is not all that clear as to what is the target the 'Edit all layers' button, or the second-from-the-right button.

For example, while working on the map, being in the "Buildings" layer, you can not be afraid of accidentally selecting / moving roads, trees that are in other layers (if the "Edit All Layers" button is not active). The button on the right-bottom, creates a container-layer, for which the "Edit all layers" solver works.
