User: “It would be a good way to organise elements if we have the layer panel. Locking and unlocking elements is just a click away.”

XD team: “You simply should not need such a complex abstraction to design with XD – just think of layers in Photoshop or in Illustrator and how they add friction and complexity sometimes.”
