Layers tab

Here you can find the list of all elements added to the page in the order they appear on the canvas. 

Hierarchical list of elements located on the page displays all the elements and their relationship. The higher the element in the list, the higher it on the web page. (For more details, see: Block-based website model and element hierarchy).

The list of elements on the tab helps you navigate through the elements on the Canvas. When hovering over the name of an element on the Layers tab, the element is outlined on the Canvas. When clicking on the name of an element, the element is highlighted on the Canvas.
