'Bring to Front' moves a selected layer or object to the very top of the layer stack. This means it will be rendered on top of all other layers, appearing in front of them. 'Send to Back' does the opposite; it moves a selected layer or object to the bottom of the layer stack, placing it behind all other layers.
Practical Example - Title and Background:** Imagine a presentation slide with a background image and a title. The background image should be at the bottom of the layer stack, and the title should be on top. Therefore, the background image would be 'sent to back', and the title would be 'brought to front'. This ensures the title is always visible above the background, regardless of how the background image is positioned or manipulated.
Practical Example - Overlapping Elements:** Consider a design with several overlapping shapes. If one shape needs to be temporarily placed on top of others for editing, it can be 'brought to front'. After the editing is complete, it can be 'sent to back' to maintain the intended layering order.
