Layer editing offers immense possibilities for creating documents in a structured manner. This gives you the greatest amount of freedom to work with layers and layer groups.
To explain the principle of working with layers, imagine you are sitting at a light box to build up a page from several superimposed transparent foils. You can stick images, text and graphics to the individual foils. You can change the order of the individual foils, so that at times the images are right at the top, but on other pages perhaps right at the bottom. One page may be made up from a single foil, another from perhaps 20 foils.
