🧪 Control Layers

🐛 Known Issues

These issues will be fixed for the full release.

• If you undo after deleting a Regional Guidance layer's IP Adapter, Global IP Adapter layer, or Global Control Adapter Layer, the UI may error. You'll just need to click Reset if this happens.
• There is a bug on Firefox v125 that causes very poor performance in the Control Layers canvas. This is not an issue for Firefox v126 Developer Edition. Other versions of Firefox have not been tested.
