# Change the stacking order of layers

The stacking order determines whether a layer appears in front of or behind other layers.

By default, the Background layer must remain at the bottom of the stack. To move the Background layer, you need to convert it into a regular layer first.

Dragging a layer below another layer changes the stacking order

1. In the Layers palette, select one or more layers. To select more than one layer, hold down the Command key and click each layer.
2. To change the stacking order, do one of the following:

   - Drag the layer or layers up or down the Layers palette to the new position.

   - Choose Layer > Arrange, and then choose Bring To Front, Bring Forward, Send Backward, or Send To Back.
