Layer, group, and lock objects
You can layer text and objects to create the appearance of depth on a slide and then move items higher (forward) or lower (backward) in the stack.
You can group multiple objects so that you can move, resize, or rotate them as a single unit. To avoid inadvertently moving, modifying, or deleting an object, you can lock it.
Layer objects
-
Select an object then overlap it with one or more other objects.
-
Click the Arrange tab at the top of the sidebar on the right.
If you don’t see a sidebar, or the sidebar doesn’t have an Arrange tab, click
in the toolbar. -
Do one of the following:
-
Move an object one layer at a time: Click Backward, or click Forward.
