I cannot see which layers are active or not. How to get it visible I don't see any information after the layer names. Can some one help me?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @Bonhomme.

I've seen a few reports, on Mac and iPad, of the layer visibility icons not showing. I haven't seen any information about why that might happen, yet. But there might be some problem.

What OS and release are you running?

If you save the file, close the app, reopen it, and reopen the file, do they come back?

I've never seen this happen myself but if restarting doesn't solve it, try going to Preferences > User Interface and toggling light mode on and off. Or changing UI font size from default to large and back again. These sorts of changes sometimes fix interface glitches, at least temporarily.

Hi @Bonhomme,

Thanks for your report and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. We are exceptionally busy following the release of V2 and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding here.

I can confirm this issue is logged with our developers to be resolved, I will be sure to 'bump' this with our team now to bring it to their attention once again :)

@MoonaticDestiny/ @iuli,

I can also confirm that this issue appears to have been fixed in the latest update (2.0.4) for Affinity iPadOS - if you're still experiencing any issues with these buttons, please post in the iPad bugs section and our team will investigate this further :)

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

The issue "Layer Visibility toggles won't show if you make the Layers Panel wider" (REF: AFP-5740) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.1.0.1742".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
