New groups appear at the top of the Layers list, and are numbered incrementally based
on the number of groups you’ve created so far.
When you have more than one group, you can move layers back and forth between them,
changing their nested relationship in your project.
To move a layer from one group to another
1 Select one or more layers.
2 Do one of the following:
• Drag the selected layers to a position underneath another group.
A position indicator appears to show where the layer is placed when you release the
mouse button.
• Choose Edit > Cut (or press Command-X), then select the group to paste into, and
choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
You can also copy a layer from one group to another.
To copy a layer from one group to another
Do one of the following:
µ
Option-drag selected layers from one group to another.
µ
Select layers, choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C), then select the group to paste
into, and choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
Nesting Groups Inside Other Groups
In addition to nesting layers inside groups, you can also nest groups inside other groups.
You might do this if you’re creating a layer hierarchy to control the relationship of one
group of layers to another, or if you’re grouping layers to which you want to apply a
single set of behaviors and filters.
Nesting a group works the same way as nesting a layer.
To move a group inside another group
1 Select one or more groups.
2 Do one of the following:
• Drag the groups onto another group.
• Drag the groups to a position underneath another group.
• Choose Edit > Cut (or press Command-X) to cut the groups, then select the group
where you want to paste, and choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
