hi in this video I'm going to show you
0:03
on how you can lock the background in
0:05
your confa design so background is
0:08
usually just a picture or a color that
0:10
is located at the very back of your cona
0:13
Des layers so if you go to position and
0:16
then click layers background is going to
0:18
be something that is position at the
0:19
very bottom so after that there is some
0:22
other elements on top of it so that is
0:24
the background and uh it's very useful
0:27
to actually lock the background because
0:29
you don't want to accidentally change it
0:31
into a different picture for example now
0:34
let's say if I go to elements and if I
0:37
let's say I want to put insert this
0:39
picture into my design by dragging I
0:42
could accidentally change the background
0:44
so if you navigate to position again
0:45
you'll see now the background is
0:47
different so that's why locking the
0:49
background is extremely recommended when
0:51
you have a very complicated design or
0:53
when you want to insert other pictures
0:55
into the design now to lock the
0:57
background you can click oh sorry you
0:59
can right click on it and then you can
1:01
click lock background and then click
1:02
lock or again you can go to position
1:05
layers and then right click here lock
1:07
background and click lock now uh I won't
1:11
accidentally change the background even
1:13
though I'm trying to put a different
1:15
picture into this D let's say I'm going
1:18
to elements again and if I want to drag
1:21
and drop now this is not a background it
1:25
appears to be the background but if you
1:26
go to position and click layer you see
1:28
this is just a big that is positioned on
1:31
top of the background I could move it
1:33
around somewhere else and it will reveal
1:35
the actual background so yeah that is
1:38
going to prevent this background from
1:40
accidentally being changed okay that was
1:43
uh for a picture background but how
1:45
about if you're using other elements
1:47
like shapes or maybe factor or maybe you
1:49
have multiple backgrounds to combine
1:52
together well if you actually navigate
1:54
to this page sorry uh in this document
1:57
for example this is actually not one
1:59
picture this is two different
2:01
pictures this lower part and there's
2:04
also this top section the top section is
2:07
actually the actual background but I
2:09
also use this picture to create the
2:12
illusion that there is a bicycle on this
2:14
picture even though the actual picture
2:16
was just this so uh this is actually one
2:20
type of background this is two elements
2:23
overlapping together and usually there's
2:25
not much you can do but maybe one thing
2:27
that you can do is that you can lock
2:29
that element as well so this element is
2:31
free to move and I don't want that to
2:34
happen I don't want to accidentally
2:35
change or move this object so I'm going
2:38
to click on it and click this path lock
2:40
icon to lock the position and I'm going
2:42
to click lock once again so the first
2:44
one was to lock it position but you can
2:47
still change the content another click
2:50
is by it's going to lock the entire
2:53
thing so I won't accidentally uh move or
2:56
change the object and I'll do the same
2:58
for the background let right click lock
3:01
background and click lock now these two
3:03
are not going to be accidentally mov
3:05
when I'm working on this page so there
3:08
you have it that's how you can lock a
3:11
background in Cana
