7 months ago I second this, and share a scenario where it obstructs one's flow. Basically, when one resize the main window:
- while the Diagrams & Style right sidebar is still docked as expected on the right side
- the floating Layers window is still positionned at the same position/coordinates IN the main window, and as a result often mask a new portion of the diagram area you're working on, and therefore require an extra step to move it out of the (new) working area.
I can do without such a feature, but it becomes subtly frustrating when one resized the main window and uses layers.
A typical scenario instance is you work full screen on a large diagram, and then you want to see another piece of information in another program/document simultaneously:
- You un-maximise or move/dock your main window to a side of your desktop
- And voila: the floating Layers window is now obstructing the new working area.
Repeat a few times a day, and the frustration makes one think "why isn't the Layers window in the side bar too, a as tab?".
It's all about productivity, from users perspective. I would not care of the Layers window was a tab in the right side bar, personally.

Not really a problem, It would just be an improvement for how we use Drawio. I think it would be easier to work with layers if the layers window was embedded into the right side tool bar. I have floor plans with multiple layers for room numbers, wiring, Fire escape, etc.
Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. Embed layers window into the right tool bar.
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. I can just keep using layers in window mode.
