The Layers Editor shows your website elements and how they are nested. Use it to locate and select elements when working on a layout.

Accessing the Layers Panel

Layers button indicated in the site editor sidebar.

Open the Grigora editor and look at the left panel. At the bottom, you'll find the "Layers" option. Click on it to open the layers panel. This tool gives you a bird's-eye view of your entire website structure.

Understanding the Layer Structure

Layers panel displaying the nested website element hierarchy.

Once opened, you'll see the main page with all your website elements organized in a hierarchical structure. All the layers of your website are displayed in a tree-like format that shows how elements are nested within each other.

You can expand each layer to explore the internal structure of your website and see which containers hold which columns or where specific elements are located within your design hierarchy.

Interactive Layer Navigation

When you click on any element in your design, the layers automatically expand to show you the complete hierarchy of that element. 

This gives you a clear understanding of how your elements are nested and helps you visualize the parent-child relationships between different design components.
