When you have a large stack of screens in your PSD document, this feature will be essential. If you can keep your layers tidy, this feature will be more powerful, and then we will talk about:

UI designers can use the drawing board to make typography faster and keep the layers neat and orderly. UI design has become a systematic and specialized industry from the skills that a few designers have mastered. The reason is that a good design can change the entire IT industry.
