How do I assign a color to a layer?
Color-code your Layers in the Layers sidebar by tapping the color dot next to a Layer name and choosing from the color swatches. The color even carries through to a new draft after Note Transfer.
Color-coding is one of the simplest ways to make a complex Layers setup easy to scan — at a glance, you can tell which Layer is which.
- Tap Layers on the Top Toolbar:
- Tap the color dot to the left of the name of the Layer you want to colorize:
- The Color Selector opens. Tap the color you'd like to assign:
That's it — your Layer is now highlighted in that color, and the color carries through to a new draft after Note Transfer.
