What are layers and why lock them?
The Garden Planner has 5 layers: Structures (objects that sit on top of others), plants, text, irrigation and layout (objects that sit underneath others). The Layer Lock feature makes it easier to work with a particular layer of your plan without accidentally selecting a different layer. When a layer has been selected, all other layers are ‘grayed out’ on your plan and are non-selectable.
How to lock layers
To select the Layer Lock, tap on the menu button at the top right of your plan to open Planner Options. Select the layer you wish to work with from the Layer drop-down menu. Click on the X at the top right to close the Planner Options.
You can also choose to Lock All layers if you wish (nothing will be selectable on your plan until you choose a layer or Edit All).
There is a shortcut to Lock All layers on the lower right hand side of The Garden Planner.
Changing which layer is locked
When you're done, you can either select another layer, choose Edit All from the Planner Options, or click on the Layers Locked button.
