📌 Why this matters
Proper layering transforms cluttered slides into polished presentations by letting you control exactly which elements appear on top when objects overlap. You can strategically place text boxes over images, position logos as watermarks behind content, or create sophisticated visual hierarchies that guide your audience's attention.
