Organizing Your Project
Layers are a great way of organizing your project to help you keep track of everything.
Name your layers with descriptive names to take that idea even further. Since you are
about to add several text objects, you need to create a new layer for them.
To create a new layer:
1 Click the Add Layer button (+) just under the Layers tab to add a new layer.
A new layer is created at the top of the Project pane, called Layer.
2 Double-click the name, then type “Titles.”
3 Press Return to accept the new name.
