How to lock and hide layers in Orshot Studio

Both controls live in the Layers panel on the right: hide a layer to keep it in your template but out of the render, and lock it so it can't be selected or moved by accident. Open the panel with the Layers tab.

1. Hide a layer#

Click the eye next to any layer to hide it.

2. What hiding does#

The layer dims in the panel and disappears from the canvas — it stays in your template but is left out of every render. Click the eye again (now a slash) to bring it back.

3. Lock a layer#

Click the lock to protect a layer. A locked layer can't be selected or moved on the canvas — useful for backgrounds you keep nudging by mistake. Since you can no longer click it on the canvas, unlock it from the same spot in the Layers panel.
