Why It Matters
Good layer organization is invisible when done right and painfully obvious when done wrong. Developers inspecting designs shouldn't see "Frame 427" and "Rectangle 12"—they should see "CardContainer" and "AvatarBadge". Organized layers communicate design intent, speed up inspection, and demonstrate professionalism.
Examples
1
A button component with layers named "Container", "IconSlot", "Label" instead of auto-generated names.
2
Screens organized in the layers panel from top-to-bottom matching left-to-right canvas order.
3
Using "/" in layer names to create hierarchy: "Header/Nav/MenuItem" appears nested in the panel.
How BiblioKit Helps
RenameVariantsAI helps clean up layer names across your files with AI-powered batch renaming, transforming messy auto-generated names into clear, semantic labels.
