The Object Panel displays and manages all objects on the currently selected Object Layer. Use it to search, select, organize, and manage stamps, text, lines, shapes, and groups.

The Object Panel is available whenever an Object Layer is selected in the Layers Panel.

Layout Overview

The Object Panel displays every object on the active Object Layer.

Objects are listed in their rendering order. Depending on the current scene style, this order is either determined automatically or can be manually adjusted via drag & drop. See Object Layers for more information about object ordering.

The top of the panel contains tools for searching and managing multiple objects at once.

Object List

The Object List displays all objects on the current Object Layer.

For each object, the following information is shown:

• Thumbnail

• Name

• Sublayer

Hovering over an object reveals additional actions:

• Show / Hide

• Lock / Unlock

• Context Menu / Object Menu

The context menu provides the same actions that are available by right-clicking an object on the canvas.

Selecting Objects

Objects can be selected directly from the Object Panel.

• Click an object to select it.

• Hold Ctrl to add or remove objects from the current selection.

• Hold Shift to select a range of objects.

Locked objects cannot be selected on the canvas, but they can still be selected from the Object Panel.

Panel Actions

The toolbar at the top of the Object Panel provides actions for managing multiple objects.

• Search: Search objects by name.

• Show / Hide Selected: Show or hide all selected objects.

• Lock / Unlock Selected: Lock or unlock all selected objects.

• Select All: Select all unlocked objects on the current Object Layer.

Groups

Groups help organize related objects and make them easier to manage.

The Object Panel displays the groups within the current hierarchy level.

When you open a group, a navigation bar at the top of the panel shows the path to the current group, making it easy to move back to parent groups.

Groups and Objects can be dragged into or out of groups at any time.
