by using layers: 

- You can protect artwork that you don't want to change,

- you can hide artwork that you aren't working with so that it's not distracting,

Subject: [Inkscape-user] Layers: what for?

Could someone please tell me what for are layers intended? I have
never used such a thing, and that is why it intrigues me.

Thanks in advance,

Paul
