This documents the new Layers feature (inertiajs/inertia#3236): pages that render on top of the page they were opened from, which is how you build modals, slideovers, and wizards in Inertia.
Rather than adding a standalone "Layers" section, each piece is documented on the page where you'd naturally look for it:
->layer(base: ..., key: ...), and closing one withInertia::close().->interstitial(), so a pending layer survives a full-page interruption like password confirmation.router.layer(), local layers,useLayer(), making requests inside a layer, and layer events.layeroption (your app-wide shell component) and theloadingoption (the placeholder shown while a directly-opened layer's base page is fetched).layer,close, andinterstitialpage-object fields, close instructions, and detours, for anyone implementing a backend adapter.hasLayer(),layerBase(), andisClose()assertions.All client-side examples come in Vue, React, and Svelte flavors, and the sections cross-link so you can start from whichever end you're coming from.
