A layer (element) is an object that holds an asset within the design. You can view all layers in your project from the Layers panel.


Dynamic/Linked layers

In a feed design, a dynamic layer can be linked to a column in the Source Feed, it will be filled with the product data from the linked column and render the product rows. A common dynamic layer can be a product image or product text info (name, description, price).

To change a layer to a dynamic layer, hover on the layer and click on the test tube icon. Then you can see the dynamic layer shows up as green and will be added to the 'Link Columns' page.

Static layers

Static layers are similar to the fixed layer in the MVT design, they normally serve as decorations in a design and won't show up in the 'Link Columns' page.

To change a layer to a static layer, hover on the layer and click on the push pin icon. Then you can see the layer shows up as purple.
