On the right is where it will show the layers, or pieces, of your project. Layer order deals with how these pieces are seen on your canvas. The front, or top, layer is the one closest to you. You can see all of this layer. The back, or bottom, layer is the one furthest from you. You may be able to see all of this layer or nothing at all depending on if another layer is positioned above it on the canvas. The front layer will be at the top of the list while the back layer will be at the bottom.

The functions above and below this section edit the layers. You can select several layers to edit at one time by holding down the control key while clicking on the layers either on the canvas, in the list, or a combination of the two. Grouping means the layers selected will be joined, the group will be placed at the top of the layers, and the layers will keep the order in which they are currently positioned. This is useful for treating multiple layers as a single image, like for resizing. Ungrouping means the layers that were grouped are no longer treated as a single image. Duplicate and delete mean exactly that and can be applied to a single layer, several individual layers, and even groups.

At the bottom on the right side, there are five more functions. These determine how Cricut sees the layers. If you have an image, but want to cut a piece of it off or cut it into a particular shape, use the 'Slice' function. Note that the slicing function only works by selecting two layers at a time. If the image being spliced has multiple layers, you may have to splice it multiple times, once for each layer affected. Welding does the opposite of splicing. Welding is kind of like grouping, but it turns the selected layers into a single layer with all the selected layers frozen together where they were on the canvas. Attaching does a combination effect of grouping and welding. It keeps the selected layers separate, but all layers of the same type will be treated as if they were welded. The purpose of this function is to keep things in a particular position on the cutting mat when cut, embossed, drawn, and excreta. Say you are creating a card that needs to be cut, drawn on, and scored. The attach feature tells the Cricut machine that two or more functions need to happen in the same position on a single mat. Flatten moves all the selected layers to a single layer. Instead of having their own position, the pieces now share the same layer. And then there is contour. Contour gives you access over some images to fill in or unfill holes. The best way I can describe this is to think of the capital letter 'A.' 'A' has a triangular hole in the middle to create the shape of the letter. But what if you did not want that hole? Using the contour function, you would 'hide' that triangular hole. The opposite is true too, like if you only wanted that triangular hole showing but not the rest. In this case, you would 'hide' the 'A' outline while showing the triangle hole. Not all images give this option, but there are a great many that do.

There's your crash course on Design Space. In an upcoming posts, I will go further in detail of what each of those left side and top row buttons do. For now, you have a general understanding of the purpose of those buttons, and you can play around with them. And now that you have a basic understanding of Design Space, what will your first project be? The possibilities are endless!
