I am struggling to figure out how to simply view my project without seeing each layer visibly beyond the boundary. When I drag a layer to overlap the edge of the project I can not figure out how to get it to disappear beyond the edge.
Hi there @bjsweeney22 and welcome to the Community Forum!
It sounds like adjusting the Artboard Clipping setting may be what you’re looking for, to adjust this simply: open your document → Tap ‘…’ → Settings → Canvas → Clip Artboards → Clip All.
Doing this will result in any elements that exceed your Artboard perimeter becoming invisible.
