Apply and view layer comps

In the Layer Comp panel, do any of the following:

To view a layer comp, you first need to apply it. Click the Apply Layer Comp icon

Change and update a layer comp

If you change the configuration of a layer comp, you need to update it.

1. Select the layer comp in the Layer Comps panel.

2. Make changes to the layer’s visibility, position, or style. You may need to change the layer comp’s options to record these changes.

3. To change your comp options, select Layer Comp Options from the panel menu and select additional options to record layer position and

style.

Clear layer comp warnings

Certain actions create a state where the layer comp can no longer be fully restored. This happens when you delete a layer, merge a layer, or
convert a layer to a background. In such instances, a caution icon

appears next to the layer comp name.

Do one of the following:

Ignore the warning, which may result in the loss of one or more layers. Other saved parameters may be preserved.

Update the comp, which results in the loss of the previously captured parameters, but brings the comp up to date.

Click the caution icon to see the message explaining that the layer comp can’t be restored properly. Choose Clear to remove the alert
icon and leave the remaining layers unchanged.

Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the caution icon to see the pop-up menu that lets you choose either the Clear Layer
Comp Warning or the Clear All Layer Comp Warnings command.
