Add function to "send backward" and "bring forward" on Whiteboard shapes

What is the challenge?

Currently, I can only "Send to back" or "Bring to front" on a whiteboard, which limits my ability to work with layered shapes. Without a "Send backward by one layer" option, adjusting complex, multi-layered diagrams becomes cumbersome.

What is the impact?

To access or adjust shapes within stacked layers, excessive manipulation is needed to reorder elements manually. This disrupts workflow, especially when working with complex groupings.

Example:

  • Layers in Diagram:

    • Rectangle background

    • Circular flow diagram on top of the rectangle

    • A shape positioned in the center of the flow diagram

  • Problem: To access the shape within the flow diagram, I must move the circular flow diagram behind the rectangle, hiding it, and then move the rectangle back. This process is inefficient and requires extensive adjustments.

Describe your idea

Introduce a "Send Backward" and "Bring forward" feature, allowing fine-tuned control over each shape's position in layered designs without affecting all layers.
