Shapes can be used to create backgrounds, highlights, dividers, decorative elements, and other visual effects in your project.

Step 1: Open the Artwork & Shapes Section

Click the Artwork & Shapes icon located in the left sidebar.

Then select the Shapes tab.

Step 2: Add a Shape

Browse the available shapes and drag the one you would like to use onto your page.

Step 3: Move and Resize the Shape

Click on the shape to activate it.

Drag the shape to reposition it and use the corner handles to resize it.

Step 4: Change the Shape Color

With the shape selected, use the available color options to choose a different color.

Step 5: Adjust Transparency

You can adjust the transparency of a shape to create subtle design effects and backgrounds.

Step 6: Change the Shape Layer Position

Right-click on the shape to open the contextual menu.

Use the available layer options to control how the shape appears relative to other elements on the page:

  • Bring to front – moves the shape in front of all other elements.

  • Bump forward – moves the shape forward one layer at a time.

  • Bump backward – moves the shape backward one layer at a time.

  • Send to back – moves the shape behind all other elements.

Step 7: Delete a Shape

To remove a shape, click on it to activate it and select the Delete option.

And that's how to add and customize shapes in your project.
