When you’re building a template with multiple elements \u2014 a background rectangle, a logo, some text, maybe a decorative shape \u2014 the order they stack on top of each other matters. A logo hidden behind a colored box doesn’t do you much good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MailMergic editor now lets you reorder elements with a simple right-click<\/strong>, so you always have full control over what appears in front and what stays in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Right-click<\/figure>\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n

Right-click on any element on your canvas \u2014 a placeholder, shape, image, barcode, or anything else \u2014 and you’ll see four layering options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Bring to Front<\/strong> \u2014 moves the element all the way to the top, in front of everything else<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bring Forward<\/strong> \u2014 nudges it one layer up<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Send Backward<\/strong> \u2014 nudges it one layer down<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Send to Back<\/strong> \u2014 moves it all the way behind everything else<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    That’s it. No guessing, no dragging things on and off the canvas. Just right-click and pick where you want it.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Where it makes a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Layering becomes essential as soon as your templates get a little more creative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Background shapes<\/strong> \u2014 place a colored rectangle behind a group of text placeholders to create a visual section<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Overlapping elements<\/strong> \u2014 stack a badge or seal on top of a certificate border<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • White out + content<\/strong> \u2014 put a white-out box behind new content to cover the original PDF text, then layer your own elements on top<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Decorative layouts<\/strong> \u2014 build layered designs with shapes, images, and text that overlap intentionally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

      Undo-friendly<\/h2>\n\n\n

      Made a mistake? Every layering change supports undo and redo, so you can experiment freely without worrying about messing up your layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The options are also smart about context \u2014 if an element is already at the very front, the \u00ab\u00a0Bring to Front\u00a0\u00bb option is greyed out, so you always know where things stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Open the editor<\/strong>, right-click any element, and start layering. Your templates are about to look a lot more polished.<\/p>\n
