@sagar_adhikari Hey! the onion skin feature is located on the **View Menu \> Onion Skin** :

Or it is located in the **Display Options** panel below the Color Palette

The **Previous** button will activate all the frames that are **before your current frame**

The **Next** button will activate all the frames that are **after your current frame**

In version 0.5.4b **you can see through up to 3 frames before and after your current frame**.

To configure this you can go to **Edit Menu \> Preferences \> Tools Icon \> Onion Skin Properties**

However bear in mind that **any changes** to the Onion Skin Properties will **only take effect after you re-start the program**.
