An element in the design stack that can be positioned above or below other elements, controlling visual overlap. Layers enable complex compositions with overlapping elements and effects. Manage layer order in Framer's left sidebar or use z-index for precise control.

A hybrid positioning method where elements behave normally until reaching a scroll threshold, then fix in place. Sticky positioning creates headers that stay visible during scrolling within their container. Use sticky for navigation, sidebar elements, and persistent calls to action.

A CSS property controlling stack order when elements overlap, with higher values appearing in front of lower values. Z-index management becomes complex with many overlapping elements—establish systematic layer naming. In Framer, layer order in the sidebar determines stacking with z-index overrides available.

In Framer, sticky positioning is useful for sidebars, navigation aids, comparison panels, and storytelling layouts where one element should remain visible during part of the scroll.
