Time for action — duplicating layers

Here are the simple steps for duplicating a layer. We'll use the same example blog page as we have throughout this chapter.

  1. Open the blog mockup from the previous exercises.
  2. If your Layer dialog is open, you can right-click any layer and choose Duplicate Current Layer.
    Time for action — duplicating layers
  3. Alternatively, make sure the layer you want to duplicate is selected and from the main menu, choose Layer and then Duplicate Current Layer.
    Time for action — duplicating layers
