    Go to the top menu.  Go Layer>New, then pick the kind of layer you want.  The process hasn't changed in.... oh, at least 20 years.

    Thank you Dave for your reply but it is not what i have asked for. I simply want to create new layer for example above 3th layer from all 4layers in my timeline > it should create layer above 3th layer i have selected. Is it clear?
