Question

Ever since the latest upgrade these small icons intrude :(

To better explain the situation, I will attach a screenshot. This is rather annoying and I don’t know how to move the small tiles out of the main workspace. There at the right side.

    It’s not clear from your description whether you mean the compact Layers list, the Variations thumbnails, or something else. But you can hide or show any of it at any time. The small thumbnails over the image are a compact version of the Layers list. Tap the panel selection icons on the right to switch which ones are visible, as shown in the demo below. You can view the layers as a full width list, or hide the layer list completely.

    If you want to hide the compact layer list, tap the top icon along the right edge.
