Layers Panel Gone

[kentbigdog]

I'm new to Affinity Designer and was using it today to get familiar. Somewhere along the line, the panel that normally displays on the right side, disappeared. I don't see anyway to bring it back. The top toolbar and tools panel displays fine but panel that was on the right is gone. How do I bring it back?

Thanks for any help.

Hi kentbigdog,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Just click the View menu & make sure Layers is checked, please see attached screen shot.

 

Cheers,

Haha :D

I had the same issue when I started with affinity designer and I really was in hurry because I had to make a suddle change with the layers and submit it to a client.

 

And I wasn't part of the forum.

 

So I searched for about an hour and it was really driving me mad :D

Glad you got this fast help, just wanted to say that your not the only one !!

I get a problem sometimes when the floating layer panels disappears from the almost screen completely. I can still see the edge or something but I can’t drag it or anything.

Thanks Paul. In my case "Hide Studio" had gotten checked. I had Reset Studio several times but for some reason the Hide Studio never caught my eye. My bad.

 

Something that did confuse me was the use of "Studio" in the interface but "Panels" in the help file. Today I did find "Studio Panels" in the help file in one place, the workspace overview, but everywhere else the help file seems to just refer to that area as "Panels".

 

Thanks again!
