Which panel shows the project's layers, including vector objects and masks?

• A. Properties
• B. Layers
• C. Channels
• D. Info

Answer: (A)

The panel you use to see and manage all layers, including vector objects and masks, is the Layers panel. It lists every layer in the document, shows their stacking order, and displays thumbnails of what’s on each layer. Vector shapes appear as shape layers, and masks are attached to their respective layers with a small mask thumbnail next to the layer thumbnail. This panel is where you control visibility, locking, grouping, and applying masks or effects at the layer level. The Properties panel is context-sensitive and shows options for the currently selected item, such as a layer’s fill, stroke, opacity, or specific tool settings, rather than listing all layers. The Channels panel displays color channels, and the Info panel provides color values and measurements. So for viewing and editing layers, including vector content and masks, the Layers panel is the correct panel.
