In-Depth Information
To streamline your artwork, you can merge layers, sublayers, or groups to combine the
contents into one layer, sublayer, or group. Note that items will be merged into the layer or
group that you selected last. Next, you will merge a few layers into one.
1.
Click the Text sublayer in the Layers panel to highlight it, and then Shift-click to
highlight the Background sublayer.
Notice that the current layer indicator ( ) shows the last highlighted layer as the active
layer. The last layer you select determines the name and color of the merged layer.
Note
Layers can only merge with other layers that are on the same hierarchical
level in the Layers panel. Likewise, sublayers can only merge with other
sublayers that are in the same layer and on the same hierarchical level.
Objects can't be merged with other objects.
2.
Click the Layers panel menu icon ( ), and choose Merge Selected to merge the content
from the three sublayers into the Background sublayer.
The objects on the merged layers retain their original stacking order and are added
above the objects in the destination layer.
