How to switch between drawing layers

buttons. When switching art layers, you can edit the select layer without affecting the other one.

button to display all layers together. Even when the Preview mode is enabled, you will only be able to edit the select art layer. The other ones are only displayed as a reference.

option located in the Camera bottom toolbar.
NOTE: To edit both Line Art and Colour Art at the same time, you must enable the Apply to Line Art and Colour Artbutton in the Tool Properties of the tools supporting the operation.
