Add and duplicate layers

By default, a new diagram has a single Background layer, to which all shapes, connectors and text are added.

  1. Click on Add Layer (+) at the bottom of the Layers dialog.
    Click on Add Layer (+) in the Layers dialog to add a new layer
  2. Rename the layer so it makes sense in your diagram. Double click on a layer, enter a new name, then click Rename

To add shapes to your layer, make sure you have selected it in the Layers dialog. You can also move existing shapes and connectors to your new layer.

Duplicate a layer​

Select the layer you want to duplicate, then click on the Layers menu (three horizontal lines) and select Current Layer > Duplicate.

Select a layer then click on Duplicate (overlapping box) in the Layers dialog to duplicate it
