# Manage objects

### Adding and Understanding Objects

Objects are elements you add to your image templates. They can be static (like a fixed shape, image, or text) or dynamic (drawing content directly from an item's data, such as an item image or product title).

Every new object is placed as a new layer on the canvas, stacking on top of the previously added objects.

> Important: If you use a dynamic object (like a product title or image), the Project Field connected to that object must be present in *all* projects where you plan to use this template.

#### The Objects Tab: Layer Control

Use the Objects tab to manage the general properties of all elements on your canvas.

| Visibility  | Hides or shows an object on the canvas.                      | Click the eye icon to toggle visibility.                                                             |
| Lock        | Prevents an object from being accidentally moved or resized. | Click the lock icon to prevent movement.                                                             |
