1. Select Components or Traces:
   • Click on the components or traces you want to move to the top layer.
2. Right-Click and Change Layer:
   • Right-click on the selected components or traces.
   • Look for an option in the context menu that says "Change Layer" or something similar.
   • Select the "Top Layer" from the submenu.
3. Use the Inspector:
   • You can also use the Inspector panel on the right side. With the component or trace selected, look for the layer option and change it to the "Top Layer."
4. Manual Adjustment:
   • For more precise control, you might need to manually adjust the placement of components and reroute traces on the top layer. Use the PCB editing tools to ensure everything aligns as intended.

1. Select a Component or Trace: Click to select it.
2. Layer Selection: Use the right-click context menu or the Inspector panel to change the layer.
3. Verify Connections: Ensure all connections are still valid after the swap. Adjust traces if necessary.

1. Click on $R_{13}$ to select it.
2. Right-click and choose "Change Layer" > "Top Layer."
3. Repeat for any traces or other components as needed.
