Delete a Layer

To delete a layer, follow these steps:

1. Click the layer's name (either on the timeline or in the list of layers and events below it).
2. Click the Delete button at the bottom of the dialog.
3. If the layer contains events, a dialog opens asking "Do you really want to delete this layer?"
4. Click Delete Layer to confirm, or click No to cancel.

Note: If you delete a layer with events in it, the events will also be deleted. To take a layer off the timeline while keeping its events, hide the layer instead.

From the Bulk Editor

You can also delete a layer in the Bulk Editor. Hover over the layer and click the red X on the right of its row. An empty layer is deleted straight away. If the layer has events, Preceden names the layer and asks you to confirm that you want to delete it and all of its events.

Deleting a Layer Is Permanent

Deleting a layer is permanent. Preceden has no trash to restore the layer or its events from. The History button above your timeline lists deletions, with the name of what was removed and who removed it, but it cannot put the layer back. See Seeing What Changed.
