Selecting Objects Using the Selection Pane

Sometimes it’s hard to select an object when it is behind another one. With the Selection pane, you can now select individual objects and change their order and visibility.

You can click a shape title to select a “hard-to-select” object on the document, use the Re-order buttons to change the stacking order on the document, or click the eye icon next to a shape title to show or hide “hard-to-see” individual objects.
