Save as and importing layers

Layers can be saved to the layers library, from where they can be imported back onto the Timeline in another location.

Importing a layer makes a copy of the saved layer; changing the layer that you saved to the layer library does not change the copies.

This allows you to transfer layers or groups of layers in the current track, or even from one track into another track. This is extremely useful when sequencing, as you can store these saved layers in the Layers Library as templates to avoid having to repeat actions when creating layers

This functionality used to be called Import & Export in previous releases.
