Question

Content on layer doesn't show on all pages

I have a document with several pages. 
After creating the pages I have developed a new layer and inserted a table in this layer.

But the layer only show the content (the table) in the first page. 

I can see the layer on all pages - but the content is not there.

What do I do wrong?

If you want content to show on all multiple pages it should be created on a Parent Page.

But it looks to me like you also have another problem -- the layer name is appearing in italics, indication it is set to non-printing. You will need to fix that in the layer options dialog.

Yes, the layer should not be printed

Hi @Kathe29505114apfa I think that you misunderstand how layers work: objects on a layer are not repeated on each page but appear only on the page they were created. If you need to get the same object on each page, you must create it on a parent page and apply this parent page on all the pages you need.

Layers purpose is to help you to organize objects, for exemple you create a layer for the texts, another one for the images, another for the backgrounds, or different layers for different languages.

Thanks - my problem is that on a parent page, I cannot insert a layer that is not printed. But nice to know that it is not because I do something wrong.
Thank you for your reply

One more information.
The document is made in one size and then I resize the document. Then when I need to change this layer - I get the problem.
