Moving items to a different layer
The Layers palette provides three methods for moving existing items to a different
layer. Using the Item tool , select the items you want to move, and then do one of
the following things:
•
Click the Move Item to Layer button , and then choose the target layer in the
Move Items dialog box.
•
Drag the Item icon to the target layer.
• Cut the items from their current layer and paste them on the target layer.
To place a copy of an item on a different layer, press Control/Ctrl while dragging the
Item icon to the target layer in the Layers palette.
You can move master page items on layout pages from the Default layer to other
layers, but those items will no longer be master page items if you do so.
Copying and pasting items between layers
There is an option in the Layers palette that allows you to set Paste To Remember
Layers.

This option is turned on by default. When it is on and one or more items are copied
and pasted, then the elements will be pasted on the same layer from which they were
copied. Layer matching is done by name, so if the item comes from a different
document with different layer names, a new layer with that name will be created.
If the preference is turned off, all items will be pasted on the layer that is currently
active.
