Creght supports two types of overlays: Relative Overlay and Absolute Overlay.
A Relative Overlay floats around an element. It is commonly used for tooltips, dropdown menus, and similar UI patterns.
Select any frame.

An overlay works like a regular container, meaning you can add any child elements inside it just as you would on the main canvas.

Example: A tooltip created with a relative overlay.
You can also find ready-to-use templates under Insert → Overlay.

An Absolute Overlay covers the entire page. It is typically used for modals, video players, or detail views.
Example: A video modal with a close button.
