Layers!
Layers, the section to the right of color, are helpful for various reasons. They allow you to put art on top of other pieces without affecting the others. They can also help you separate your work, which makes it easier to do things like recolor each piece or edit it in other ways. Depending on how you like to do your art, Layers may be very beneficial.
First, to open a new layer, select the plus button on the top right. This will add a new layer on top of whatever layer you were previously on.
If that isn't where you want the layer to be however, you can move each layer around by holding and dropping it in the exact space that you want it to be. You can also move multiple layers at once by swiping each one to the left, selecting them.
Be careful though, because depending on how you drop the layer, you may put two or more of them into a group. If you want to group two or more layers together, hold each layer above the other one, dropping it once the bottom layer is highlighted. To remove a layer, you do the opposite, dragging it outside of the group.
So what if we don't like a layer or we like it so much that we want more of them? Swiping a layer to the right gives you three options; Lock, Duplicate, and Delete. Depending on how you feel about a specific layer, you can lock it, preventing it from being used for certain actions, duplicate it, or get rid of it completely.
If you don't dislike the layer, but want to see your canvas without a specific layer, you can select the checkbox next to each one, which will hide it.
Lastly, If you want to change the opacity of a layer, whether it be for something like giving clothes a sheer look or making something look cool in your own way, selecting the N to the left of the checkbox will give you those options.
