Layer Groups

Groups allow us to keep our layers panel organized by grouping layers.

Once layers are grouped, they also act as a single object you can move around all at once.

To group layers together.

• All you need to do is select the layers you want to group.

• Select all three layers above by using Shift, then press Control-G.

This group now behaves as one layer.

Can you move the group around?

If you want to work with one of the individual layers again, click on the arrow by the group.

This will drop open your group; now, you can see every layer that's part of the group.

Once this group is opened, you can click on the layer you want to move and move it around.

Try this out?

Back in the Layers panel, you can move layers outside of the group if you no longer want them to be part of it.

All you need to do is click and drag on the layer and then place it so that you can see this blue line on top of the group layer.

Then you can release it, and it's no longer a part of this group.

Try taking the triangle out of the group.

If you don't want to group, just select this group layer.

Right-click on it, and then you can go down here to where it says on Group and remove the tick.
