- You can change the layer order of objects (images, shapes, text boxes, etc.) in Google Slides to control which items appear in front or behind others.
- This is useful for creating layered effects by stacking objects on top of each other.
Steps to Change Layer Order
- Select the object you want to reorder by clicking on it.
- Click on the “Arrange” menu at the top.
- Choose “Order” and then select one of the options:
- “Bring to front” – Brings the object to the top layer in front of all other items
- “Bring forward” – Brings the object one layer forward
- “Send backward”- Sends the object one layer back behind other items
- “Send to back” – Sends the object behind all other items to the bottom layer
You can also right-click on an object and choose “Order” to access these options.
Other Tips
- To move multiple items, select them by holding Shift or Ctrl (Command on Mac) and clicking. Then use the Arrange > Order options.
- You can align and distribute multiple objects under the Arrange menu.
- Grouping objects combines them so you can move them together. Ungroup separates them again.
- Showing the grid and guides under the View menu can help align objects.
