Improve your interactive diagrams by visually tracking which layers are active in Lucidchart. This tutorial shows you how to use shape actions to toggle between current and future state layers. We dive into a powerful "hack" using the isVisible formula and unique layer labels to trigger conditional formatting on your buttons. By changing colors or adding checkmarks based on a layer's visibility, you can provide clear navigation for teammates exploring complex, multi-layered workflows.
