MySQL Workbench Release Notes
Choosing "Edit" allows you to edit the layer name and layer background color, and the "Properties Editor" offers additional edit options.
When you select a layer on the EER Diagram canvas, its properties
are displayed in the Properties palette. The
properties accessible from the Properties
palette apply to the appearance of a layer on the EER Diagram
canvas.
In some circumstances, you may want to make a layer invisible.
Select the layer and, in the Properties
palette, set the visible property to
False. To locate an invisible object, open the
Layers palette and select the object by
double-clicking it. After an object is selected, you can reset the
visible property from the
Properties palette.
For a list of properties accessible through the
Properties palette, see
Section 9.1.2.6, “The Properties Palette”. In addition to the
properties listed there, a layer also has a
description property. Use this property to
document the purpose of the layer.
