We have rolled out a dedicated Layers panel in the Certificate / Badge Builder, so creators can see stacking order, lock elements, and catch broken custom-field placeholders before publishing.
Key highlights:
- New Layers tab in the builder sidebar with full canvas stack view
- Click a layer to select it on the canvas; drag-and-drop to reorder
- Per-layer lock/unlock — locked layers can’t be moved, resized, deleted, or edited via shortcuts
- Delete unlocked layers directly from the panel
- Invalid custom-field placeholders flagged with error pill
- Manual save warns when invalid placeholders exist (auto-save unchanged)
Why this matters:
- Clearer control over overlapping certificate elements
- Fewer accidental edits with lock protection
- Catch broken placeholders before certificates are issued
- Familiar design-tool UX for faster template building
Getting started:
- Open Certificate / Badge Builder
- Select the Layers tab in the left sidebar
- Click rows to select, drag to reorder, lock to protect, delete to remove
- Fix any invalid custom fields shown in the error pill before publishing
